Breathe your every breath
Self obsessed
A sensational place
Your winning hand
Cripples this impoverished state
Your business here
I don't care
You're not welcome to feed yourself to death
It's just not ever gonna be enough
So chemical
Every scent you wear
A bath in shit
All flesh and hair
Among the squeals and the selfish prayers
I never knew you were never there
Need you think you need
So you live so lustfully
Peel the skin away
We're all the same
Until you taste yourself
But all you want is more
An insatiable breed
And you will know the slaughterhouse
The happy home
Pigs
They think they own you
Every pig can smell where you've been
Everybody knows a pig
That wants to reform you
All those pigs
They're all soulless beasts
A subtle mount
A ripe affair
I'll be your accomplice anywhere
And I don't know if you even care
A cloven hoof in the mouth
Beware
And I've never known the difference
Between man and swine
Of rabid sex
So self-aware
It happens all the time
I want you sick and slovenly
I want you all the time
No common lines to hide behind
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
Self obsessed
A sensational place
Your winning hand
Cripples this impoverished state
Your business here
I don't care
You're not welcome to feed yourself to death
It's just not ever gonna be enough
So chemical
Every scent you wear
A bath in shit
All flesh and hair
Among the squeals and the selfish prayers
I never knew you were never there
Need you think you need
So you live so lustfully
Peel the skin away
We're all the same
Until you taste yourself
But all you want is more
An insatiable breed
And you will know the slaughterhouse
The happy home
Pigs
They think they own you
Every pig can smell where you've been
Everybody knows a pig
That wants to reform you
All those pigs
They're all soulless beasts
A subtle mount
A ripe affair
I'll be your accomplice anywhere
And I don't know if you even care
A cloven hoof in the mouth
Beware
And I've never known the difference
Between man and swine
Of rabid sex
So self-aware
It happens all the time
I want you sick and slovenly
I want you all the time
No common lines to hide behind
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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.

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
