Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

You hear "ra ra ra"
You hear "ooh la la"
Just animals in a cage
I got the zoo on lock
We 'bout to tear this bitch down
I pull this elephant out
You lookin' edible now
Like you ain't been pet in awhile
And if we get out, then baby we sneak to the jungle
You know I'm still linked to the jungle
You know I'm the king of the jungle
I pull the strings you strung to
I flap the wings you run to
I teach you things you dumb to
I'ma be an animal with you
That other guy he's gon' hunt you
You know I'm discreetly disgusting
You know he just beat it and brush it
You know I'm elite, he eruptive
And you know I'm a feak, he gon' judge you
And you know I'ma treat it so custom
And you know like a beak he gon' duck you
When you under my wing, it's so different
And you know in that cage, I go Nicholas

Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

Let me be your animal
And let me Geronimo, Geronimo all up in your camel toe
Girl I got the antidote
Let me medicate you, and get vetenarial
I'ma eat you like a lion eat an antelope, on an Animal Planet show
She's on to me now
We born to be wild
She sworn that she vow, I'ma only deny her
Catch her on the rebound
Animalistic sexual tendencies, express them tremendously
And work out the chemistry
Enjoy the intensity, serenity
We 'bout that wild life
We 'bout that high life
We get higher than eyesight
And then we just skydive
Mentalities in a phase, radicals in a rage
Valuables in a blaze, hot animals in a cage

Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

You know you know you know
Under my wing it's so different
You know in that cage I go Nicholas
You know you know you know
Up in that cage I go Johnny
And I pull this elephant out
She lookin' edible now
Like she ain't been pet in awhile
Yeah I pull this elephant out
She put on a sexier smile
Like she ain't been fed in a while
Animals in a cage
Cameras in a cage
Don't be naked and afraid, we some animals in a cage girl
Got candles lit in the cage girl
And we lit in the cage girl

Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

Medicate me like a mental case
'Cause I'm an animal in a cage
In my bed we'll take the stage
'Cause we're just animals in a cage

Don't be naked and afraid girl
Blanket another K
Velvet
Oh la la
Velvet

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

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/

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.
