À quoi tu joues, beau ténébreux, avec tes yeux couleur d'automne
Tes joues qui fondent, le ventre creux
Qu'est-ce que tu veux, Buster Keaton ?
Besoin d'amour et de tendresse, de contre-jour et de caresse
Beau petit coeur nécessiteux qui fait la manche dans mes cheveux
Qu'est-c'que tu veux ?

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Oui mais ce soir, t'as pas de veine, je suis la Vénus du Mélo

Avec tes mines et tes manières quand tu composes sans avoir l'air
Tes mains qui braillent et ton oeil noir et qui se pose sur mon peignoir
Cauchemar, frayeur et gros chagrin, tu as rêvé que t'était nain
Que tes espoirs étaient en feu et que l'amour n'était qu'un jeu
Qu'est-c'que tu veux ?

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Oui mais ce soir, c'est pas la peine, je suis la Vénus du Mélo

Avec ton grand corps qui bâille, tendre animal, beau paresseux
Ton p'tit sourire qui trouve la faille craque le premier de nous deux
Viens si tu veux...

Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne, que je te couche sur le dos
Que je te prenne, que je t'étreigne, que je te joue sur mon piano
Que je t'allume, que je t'éteigne
Je suis la Vénus du Mélo, je suis la Vénus du Mélo.

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.

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.

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.
