"Comunque non è questo il modo di fare"
Disse il commerciante all'uomo del pane
"Domani sarà festa in questo stupido paese"
"Ma non per noi che stiamo a lavorare"
L'uomo del pane fece finta di niente
Se ne andò tranquillamente, ente
Aveva tante, tante, tante cose da fare
Che lui non ci poteva fare niente

A questo punto la signora disse
"Per favore"
"Son qui da un quarto d'ora e lei mi deve ancora servire"
"La prego signora, mi scusi"
"Che cosa vuole?"
"Vorrei un etto e mezzo di prosciutto
E un po' di cipolline, ancora cipolline"
"Va bene, gliele incarto"
"Così fanno sessantamila tonde"
"Mi scusi non ho il resto"
"Le do anche quattrocento caramelle"
"In cartone?"
"No sciolte"

Fu proprio in quell'istante che la porta si aprì
Entrò un uomo col vestito nero
E disse, "Tutti a terra, faccia contro il muro"
"Questa è una rapina, per davvero"
La donna fece un urlo acuto
E dopo svenne in mezzo a tutte le sue caramelle
E poi le cadde addosso lo scaffale dei regali di Natale
Alé male, alé male
Nessuno fuori si accorse di niente
La polizia arrivò dopo la gente
E fece un sacco di domande
E prese anche le impronte

Poi disse al commerciante
"Deve sporgere denuncia, per adesso contro ignoti"
"Ma vedrà che saran pochi, non si deve preoccupare"
"Lei ci faccia lavorare, noi sappiamo come fare"
"Deve solo collaborare"

Lo portarono in Questura
E lo fecero sedere
Uscirà tra qualche mese
Dice, "Devono accertare"
"Controllare"
"Verificare"
"Analizzare"
"Eventuali connivenze"
"Coincidenze"

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
