(Yeah)

God gave me the sunshine
Then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine
Then I got laid on the ley line
What a day, what a day
And your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

Uk and entropy
I feel like it's fucking me
Wanna feed off the energy
Love living like a deity
One a day, one day
And your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the bodhi tree
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies of my family
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection
I want perfection

Praying for the rapture
'Cause it's stranger getting stranger
And everything's contagious
It's the modern middle ages
All day, every day
And if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the bodhi tree
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies of my family
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection
I want perfection

(Yeah)

Bodies in the bodhi tree
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies of my family
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery
Bodies in the bodhi tree
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies of my family
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery
And that's the way it's gonna be

All we've ever wanted is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it (someone can take it)
God save me rejection from my reflection
I want perfection

Jesus didn't die for you (Jesus didn't die for you)
What are you on? (I want perfection)
Jesus didn't die for you (Jesus didn't die for you)
What are you on? (bodies can die young) oh, Lord

Jesus didn't die for you (oh)
Jesus didn't die for you
Jesus didn't die for you (oh)

    Did Robbie actually write the song?? It might have been written by someone else who has theses views!! Just a possibility!! Maybe Robbie is just singing the song, rather than singing them and believing them!!

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”

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.

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/
