I just hate stupid people.
They should have to wear signs that just say I'm stupid.
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you?
You wouldn't ask them anything.
It would be like, "Excuse me, oops, never mind"
"I didn't see your sign."

It's like before my wife
And I moved from Texas to California our house was full
Of boxes and there was a you-Haul truck in our driveway.
My friend comes over and says, "Hey, You moving?"

"Nope."
"We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week.
Just to see how many boxes it takes."

"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine,
We pulled his boat into the dock,
I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass this idiot on the dock goes,
"Hey, y'all catch all them fish?"

Nope.
"Talked 'em into giving up."
"Here's your sign."
I was out in the front yard with my boy the other day and he was
Playing with his little friend,
And he hit his friend and I went up to him
And I said "Hey, (smacks his boy), we don't hit."
He looked up at me like, "Here's your sign, dad."

Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel,
There was a guy
Inventing a shark bite suit.
There's only one way to test that.
"Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on,
It looks good
They want you to jump
Into this pool of sharks,
And you tell us if it hurts when they bite you."

"Well alright, hold my sign, I don't want to loose it"
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

Last time I was home I was driving around I had a flat tire,
I pulled my truck into one
Of these side-of-the-road gas stations,
The attendant walks out, looks
At my truck, looks at me, I swear to GOD he went,
"Tire go flat?"

I couldn't resist.
I said "Nope".
"No I was driving around
And those other three just swelled right up on me."

"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
People with them little bitty teenie weenie tiny monds
Here's your sign.

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago,
A guy come over to the house, drove the
Car around for about 45 minutes.
We get back to the house, he gets out
Of the car, reaches down
And grabs the exhaust pipe, then goes, "Damn that's hot!"

See
If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
