Don’t blame it on her,
she’s got to be
the only one
to put up with me.
Rubber band wrapped round the cash,
we desperately need.

Don’t make it worse,
don’t make it bleed.
Sick dog, needs love,
my everything.
I’ll need a hole to dig,
someday we’ll need to be…

Alone with nothin’ but the television,
maybe we’ll just bury ourselves with him.

Don’t blame it on love,
it’s got to be,
right where
the furnace used to be.
Feet go cold, turn up the heat,
when you’re down on me.

The world gets smaller
at the seams.
Don’t make it smaller
than it should be.
Drop a knife above a map,
run away with me…

Someplace where they don’t have no television,
a place where we haven’t grown tired of everyone yet
Play undercover, take turns being one anothers breath.

Don’t blame it on me,
I got the seed
but I don’t want it.
I need to eat
I need to feed
the beast
inside
of me.

You talk of days
I don’t think I’ll see.
I anchored
my feet to the beach.
So when the big one comes
it’s taking me, taking me.

To hell with life and our televisions,
to hell with everyone who says we’re meant to stay in one place.

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.

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.

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.
