I'm attracted anatomically
Need to know you scientifically
Strange confusion has come over me
Need the fusion between you and me

Mother Natures legislature
Mother Nature takes her course
Gravitation of the nation
Gravitation to the source

I'm distracted biologically
My attention dominating me
I'm a victim of divine design
I'm a victim of a one-track mind

Gut reaction, satisfaction
Gut reactions never lie
Need I mention my intention
Do I need an alibi

It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology
It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology

I'm defenseless, lacking all control
It's relentless, longing of my soul
I am driven, I'm completely yours
It's a given, I'll be back for more

It's instinctive, so distinctive
And on that you may depend
Don't go mess with Mother Nature
She'll defeat you in the end

It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology
It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology

Need I mention my intention
Are you willing to supply?
Gut reaction, satisfaction
Gut reactions never lie

It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology
It happens every time you're next to me, biology
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh, biology

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.

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.
