Under My Voodoo

Sublime

Being your guide is the most I'd have
You can hide your love it's true

It's the freedom game
You can see it every day
But your freedom ain't free

Come on down, I know how
I'm gonna make you come clear

Don't you know it ain't no thing to be for
So don't take more than you need
It's somethin' that I'll do later
Now it's over my
It's under my voodoo
Under my voodoo
It's under my voodoo

Pray that I leave you high and dry
Pray you can magnify

If you're faded, put it in my prayers
I damn my feeling, I won't lie
I'm tellin' the truth

It ain't no thing
If you wanna get real dry, dry, one thing though

Gonna kill for it, more, more, it's not my fault, it's got me,
Under my voodoo
Under my voodoo
It's under my voodoo

Free
Lord, God, voodoo
Lord, hey, voodoo
Lord, hey, voodoo
What you wan', you wan', you wanna do?
Lord
Wanna, wanna, wanna pack up
I wanna get to Peek-A-Boos

    @mrfillbert not all sublime songs are about his addiction. Its about a girl being so in love with him that she´ll do anything for him

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”

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.
