Ayant avec lui toujours fait bon ménage
J'eusse aimé célébrer sans être inconvenant
Tendre corps féminin ton plus bel apanage
Que tous ceux qui l'ont vu disent hallucinant

Ce eu été mon ultime chant mon chant du cygne
Mon dernier billet doux mon message d'adieu
Or malheureusement les mots qui le désignent
Le disputent à l'exécrable à l'odieux

C'est la grande pitié de la langue française
C'est son talon d'Achille et c'est son déshonneur
De n'offrir que des mots entachés de bassesse
À cette incomparable instrument de bonheur

Alors que tant de fleurs ont des noms poétiques
Tendre corps féminin' c'est fort malencontreux
Que ta fleur la plus douce la plus érotique
Et la plus enivrante en ait de si scabreux

Mais le pire de tous est un petit vocable
De trois lettres pas plus familier coutumier
Il est inexplicable il est irrévocable
Honte à celui-là qui l'employa le premier

Honte à celui-là qui par dépit par gageure
Dota de même terme en son fiel venimeux
Ce grand ami de l'homme et la cinglante injure
Celui-là c'est probable en était un fameux

Misogyne à coup sûr asexué sans doute
Au charmes de Vénus absolument rétif
Était ce bougre qui toute honte bue toute
Fit ce rapprochement d'ailleurs intempestif

La malepeste soit de cette homonymie
C'est injuste madame et c'est désobligeant
Que ce morceau de roi de votre anatomie
Porte le même nom qu'une foule de gens

Fasse le ciel qu'un jour, dans un trait de génie
Un poète inspiré que Pégase soutient
Donne, effaçant d'un coup des siècles d'avanie
À cette vraie merveille un joli nom chrétien

En attendant madame il semblerait dommage
Et vos adorateurs en seraient tous peinés
D'aller perdre de vue que pour lui rendre hommage
Il est d'autre moyen et que je les connais
Et que je les connais

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
