Telephone (feat. Beyonce)

Lady GaGa

Hello hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service in the club you see-see
What-what-wha-a-at did you say, huh?
You're you breaking up on me
Sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy

Just a second it's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh?
You should've made some plans with me
You knew that I was free
And now you won't stop calling me
I'm kinda busy

[CHORUS]
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop telephonin' me
I'm busy
Stop telephonin' me

You can call all you want, but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone [x2]


[Beyonce]
Boy, the way you're blowin' up my phone
Won't make me leave no faster
Put my coat on faster
Leave my girls no faster
I should've left my phone at home
'cause this is a disaster
Calling like a collector
Sorry I cannot answer

It's not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired of my phone ri-ri-n-ging
Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'cause I'll be dancing
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'cause I'll be dancing

[CHORUS]
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop telephonin' me
I'm busy
Stop telephonin' me

You can call if you want but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone

My telephone
My-my-my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
My telephone
My-my-my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone

We're sorry
We're sorry
The number you have reached
Is not in service at this time
Please check the number, or try your call again

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
