Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground

hey momma'
i am such a selfish bastard
i stare through dirty windowpanes at fumbled d.n.a.
they stumble upright now we'll come down to man-made foliage
where all the crazies be, they're crazy just like me
except i'm sheltered from the cold....
oh darlin' hold me tighter so your teeth don't have to chatter
we can smile.... at putrid, senile faces taxing where our space is
man that's love
oh baby get me all fresh bent on stimulants
my stems is stout from the caffeine
drenched petals fragrance and nicotine
and i'll be asleep by 8:30
in the morning wake me gently
like a bird of paradise my agenda is my vice
and i'm all dressed up with nowhere to go man
get out man
freak out man
i get a little jumpy when the phone rings (automations on the other line)
the headset robots waste time on a company dime
it's another waste of time
but can you blame me?
when all the things i see
they came to me in dreams
somewhere out in the spaced out back of my mind

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
