Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?

The Zutons

What can I do? What can I say?
To make you want me more
To have your love and show you how
That's all I'm asking for

I've been around the block so many times
And I need a place to stop
I only want what's right for you
And you could be right for us

I hear the same thing all the time
And you know that I don't care
Well, I don't like the way you're hanging around
And I sure don't like your hair

Ooh, ooh
Why won't you give me your love?
Ooh, ooh
Why won't you give me your love?

I'll chain you up, I'll make you mine
I'll keep you locked downstairs
With all the bugs and all the gnats
I'll feed you rodent hair

I'll keep you in my cellar safe
Oh, to keep you there 'till dawn
I'll wait until the sun comes up
Then I'll poke and prod you more

I know you're tired and you're having a date
Well, that don't mean much to me
And when I see you out in town
I'm gonna hide so you can't see

Ooh, ooh
Why won't you give me your love?
Ooh, ooh
Why won't you give me your love?

Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?

Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?

Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?

Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?

Why won't you give me your love?
Why won't you give me your love?

    The video for this is ace! I'm guessing it's about a stalker/someone obsessed?

    "When I see you out in town, I'm gonna hid so you can't see"

    and the girl's getting a bit freaked:

    "Well I don't like the way you've been hanging around and I sure don't like your hair"

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
