(got a little demon girl asleep in my bed
got a little demon girl asleep in my bed
i don't know where she came from
but shes in my bed
and when the morning comes, and shes still here
i'll be... i'll be... i'll be gone)

i got an angle in one pocket
the others full of nickels
one for every time i pulled the pistol on your innocence
you've been a victim since
you bit your lips under my sheets,
under my spell and i was under your wing
little bird found her bee and she suffered my sting
no wonder why i sing to any open ear
with enough room for two cents drenched in regret
best friends since we met
but these trends that i set
they came and double crossed me in crisis
i took your king off his throne but i adopted his vices
you said what i'd never be (...ill be gone)

now if i had a nickel for every time i said never
i'd be rich and have you living in your picture perfect shoes
if i had an excuse
for every time i left clues
that i was distancing myself from you
i'd need a rescue
and if i had a focus for most of these 26 years
there i would be a hero to myself
but the truth is...
...i need a rescue

(now its like
im too vain and insecure to drive the lane and visit her
i hide away all immature my pictures sure to fade away...
...so fade away)

and when the morning comes and shes still here
ill be, ill be gone.

(got a little demon girl, asleep in my bed)

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
