CLIFF:
The bush upon the rotor pump
is pushed into the floater sump
it's wearing out the grunion teeth
by bearing on the cog beneath
which means in terms of tension swings
the seams of your suspension springs
in cyclic thirds are set apart
in very simple words, dear ladies
your car won't start

ALL SINGING:
So we're making this offer
ride with us, come ride with us
through the countryside with us
for our bus has every comfort inside
we are pleading
please let us take you for a ride

SHORT MUSIC BREAK

CLIFF:
To try to wrench the gyro sphere
without a bench would take all year
don't risk it like this on the road
the brisket feed light might explode

SOMEONE ELSE:
The ball valve's past the hydrotrend
There's something nasty round the bend
The loofah (?) tank is running slow (low?)

ALL:
To put it very frankly
ladies, your car won't go
So ride with us
come ride with us
better be allied with us
here's an offer
that is quite bona fide
we are pleading
please let us take you for a ride

VERY LONG MUSIC BREAK

CLIFF: (Very fast)

You know I wouldn't be surprised
That gasket hood looks pulverised
The shock recoil is now reversed
(MISSING LINE)
Compression (seep?) will soon distend
the leak that leaks in your big end
The lousy coke has got a hitch
around the choke adjustment switch
Your piston spark (spout?) is dynamite
(in?/and?) cutting off the parking light
And, from its shake, your outside brake
is needing a new drum!

ALL: (slower)
In fact make no mistake
you've really had it chum

CLIFF: (with others singing different words at the same time)
So ride with us
come ride with us

(MISSING LINES)
past the forest
and the riverside
take a tour with us
that's really nation-wide
for as guys we're really qualified
there's no need to look terrified
for when you have tried
you will say - wide-eyed!
we are just what the doctor specified
we are pleading, please let us take you for a...
...ride with us, ride with us
SHORT MUSIC BREAK
please let us take you for a ride

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.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
