What did you do
What did you do
You got some heat on you
Got some heat on you

They've been tracing all your moves
Your mark has made you his
And if you want to live
Let me suggest this

Get a gun
And get a car
Get on the 25 South to Mexico
Find some place and lay low, just lay low

I just need to check the score
Because girl
You've got to move

Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air

How did it go so wrong, so fast
A confidence and then a money grab
Simple enough, simple enough a plan
It all went to shit and you're on the run
At least you got the cash

At least you got the cash

Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air
Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air

Air
You'll keep breathin'

The road in front of our protagonist
Rides in

Then you'll slip this dough
Under pillow
Again
Again

Don't bring no lights on you

What did you do
what did you do
You got some heat on you
Got some heat on you
They've been tracing all your moves

What did you do
What did you do
You got some heat on you
Got some heat on you
What did you do

What did you do

    These are as close to the lyrics as I could get between listening to live performances and the studio version.

    I'm far from getting Patiently Waiting figured out entirely, though I've been trying.

    This is probably my favorite MTB song behind Houston. Why this was not on PoI, I don't know, but it makes me want to kick their record label. Think how good of a single that this COULD be, but I'm glad it'll stay in obscurity.

    i think this song is about 2 people stealing food from a buffet.

    "what did you do? you got some meat on you" was what tipped me off.

    but seriously, it's a sick song. i can't find anywhere to download it. i wouldn't mind paying for it, but you can't even find it in places like itunes. anybody know how to get it short of buying another copy of planet of ice.

    Where can I get this song?

    Is it only available as a live version?

    I'm pretty sure the 'stay lonely' is actually "stay low, man". Which would fit in the rest of the lyrics well.

    And this song reminds me of a movie or book. The "narrator" is talking to a friend who has pulled off some heist/rip off of some very dangerous people. Perhaps something to do with gambling, as he says something about "the score".

    This is a reference to Sally Field's arduous escape from Iran in "Not Without My Daughter".

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
