Mary loves the grouse
Hides the bottles 'round the house
She watches chat shows and the soaps
Brokenhearted but she copes
Michael's out of work
Feels he's sinking in the murk
He's unshaven and a mess
Finds it hard some days to dress
Stevie smashed the delf
'Cause he can't express himself
He's consumed by rage
Like his father at his age
Rita's little child
Has a lovely little smile
But this means nothing to her father
Because he's never even seen her
And we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Joey's off the gear
He's been clean for half a year
He gets bored out of his mind
But he's trying to toe the line
Maggie's in a chair
'Twas joyriding put her there
She puts the kettle on the boil
And she's always got a smile
And we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Yeah, we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to love another day
We grow strong from it all
We grow strong or we fall
We grow strong from it all
We grow strong or we fall
And we sing all our cares away
Hides the bottles 'round the house
She watches chat shows and the soaps
Brokenhearted but she copes
Michael's out of work
Feels he's sinking in the murk
He's unshaven and a mess
Finds it hard some days to dress
Stevie smashed the delf
'Cause he can't express himself
He's consumed by rage
Like his father at his age
Rita's little child
Has a lovely little smile
But this means nothing to her father
Because he's never even seen her
And we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Joey's off the gear
He's been clean for half a year
He gets bored out of his mind
But he's trying to toe the line
Maggie's in a chair
'Twas joyriding put her there
She puts the kettle on the boil
And she's always got a smile
And we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Yeah, we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to love another day
We grow strong from it all
We grow strong or we fall
We grow strong from it all
We grow strong or we fall
And we sing all our cares away

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.
