I want you to know one thing
You ain't getting no engagement ring, yeah
So if you want to keep being with me
Oh, you've got to give me just a little, little more space
Stop chasing me around all over the place
And checking all the comments on damn Myspace
And acting like a fricking nut

Why can't you trust me baby?
Why can't you trust me baby?
So I did a little blow, get off my back
It's not like I'm smoking crack
Why can't you trust me baby?

I want to tell you just one thing more
Don't treat me like a dirty man whore, yeah
'Cause I can walk right out your Mum's front door
Oh, you better treat me with a little, a little respect
Before I go Chris Brown and punch you in the neck
Keep your insecurities at fucking check
Before I fuck all your ugly friends, yeah

Why can't you trust me baby?
Why can't you trust me baby?
I must have caught something from the toilet seat
You know that I would never cheat
Why can't you trust me baby?
Why can't you trust me baby?
If you think I'll mess around then get a grip
Or you're gonna get a big fat lip

I tell you everything I do
Is always gonna be for you
But you never hear a word
You treat me like a fricking turd
Just like a big, juicy turd, yeah, yeah

You better open up your eyes and shut your trap
I ain't putting up with anymore of your crap
Stop threatening the bitches on my Facebook page
Or I'm gonna rip your head off in a cocaine rage
Why you gotta check my prison history?
Baby, why can't we just let it be a mystery?
Besides, everybody knows it was you
That blew Justin Bieber at the petting zoo

Why can't you trust me baby?
Why can't you trust me baby?
I'm sing a little soft so you understand
I don't cheat like the rest of the band
Why can't you trust me baby?
Why can't you trust me baby?
Our love is fragile like a piece of glass
Don't make me drop your big, fat ass
Oh yeah yeah yeah

    I laughed so hard at the quiet part: "I'm singing real soft so you'll understand I don't cheat like the rest of the band!"

    So good. Great band.

Gentle Hour
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
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
