Penelope Please

Terence Trent D'Arby

I'm seventeen and under the illusion
A girl like you could end my confusion
Penelope please
Penelope please

My jeans are not
Big enough to hold me
So come on girl
Don't you try and scold me
Penelope please
Penelope please

You will still be home in time
To watch the 'Pops' featuring Chrissie Hynde

I know you see me as an aggravation
I dream of you in full moon frustration
Penelope please
Penelope please

Don't make me wait
But answer with affection
So come on girl
Look in my direction
Penelope please
Penelope please

You will still be home in time
To watch the 'Pops' featuring Chrissie Hynde

I know you view me as a major horror
But come on babe
Don't say sayonara
Penelope please
Penelope please

My head is hard
So girl I will continue
To plead and beg
Baby till I win you
Penelope please
Penelope please

You will still be home in time
To watch the 'Pops' featuring Chrissie Hynde

At twenty-one I came to this conclusion
I married her
But still I'm in confusion

Penelope please
("Come on babe")
("No!")
Penelope please
("No!")
Penelope please
("Look you're going to wake up the baby!!!")
Penelope please
("No!!!") Waaaaaaah!!!!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
