Busted Stuff

Dave Matthews Band

"Busted Stuff"

Not enough
Never too much
Woman looked just like love
Rolling stone
Gathers no moss
But leaves a trail of Busted Stuff

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's given up
Yeah

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
I take what she's given up
Yeah

Sweet, sugar lips
Pushed from the hips
You know you look just like love
Without a care, she floats above
She got me down here looking up

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's given up
Yeah

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
Yeah, yeah...

She the one, she the one, she the one for me...

When she moves, she moves so cool
She got me feeling like a fool
But inside is where the devil hides
The woman look just like love

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's given up
Yeah

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
I take what she's given up
Yeah

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind her
Yeah, yeah...

She the one, she the one, she the one for me...

I know she's gonna leave my broken heart behind
Yeah, yeah

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one for me...

    this song is too easy...its about a guy who is totally infatuated with a woman ...however she doesnt seem to care and they both realize this and the pain that he will feel when she leaves him is worth it because of the pleasue he gets from being with her.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
