Mom made my sex
She knitted it with her hands
Sex-making is a family tradition
Going back to the caveman days
They were walking around in a haze
Until they figured it out
And they said 'gosh dang, this is great!'
But now I'm like a prehistoric screwball
Walking round with no sex at all

I said
Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend

Meg likes to hide it
She said that it gives her a kick
It may be under the rug
Or stuck in a shoe closet
Or tumbling round in the washing machine
She's always trying to get me clean
She adds detergent and bounce to eliminate static cling
It's gonna be another hour or more
Till I am ready to walk out the door

I said
Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend

(Come on be my friend)
People can you hear me talking
I know you all are happy, rocking
Could you lend me a dime, pretty please?
Brother, sister, got time?
I've got no sex on my feet
Sex in my drawer
Sex in my shoes
Or sex on the floor

I said
Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend

    Upon further listening, there's actually a bit of metaphor here.

    Taking the original idea, replacing socks with sex, and our constant need and expectation for comfort, this is actually a pretty interesting song.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
