Un gatto bianco con gli occhi blu
Un vecchio vaso sulla TV
Nell'aria il fumo delle candele
Due guance rosse, rosse come mele

Ha un filtro contro la gelosia
E una ricetta per l'allegria
Legge il destino, ma nelle stelle
E poi ti dice solo cose belle

Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma

Nel mio futuro che cosa c'è
Sarebbe bello se fossi un re
Così la bionda americana
O si innamora o la trasformo in rana

Io muoio dalla curiosità
Ma dimmi un po' la verità
Voglio sapere se questo amore
Sarà sincero sarà con tutto il cuore

Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma

Non ho una lira però vorrei
Comprare il cielo per darlo a lei
Ci devi dare un po' di fortuna
E insieme al cielo compriamo anche la luna

Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma
Ma-ma-ma, mamma Maria, ma

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
