Standing in a queue of a school canteen
Guys on the corner they were laughin' at me
But I don't mind if they see it all
You know I gotta come clean
I gotta come clean
I got a crush on you

My mind don't need it but my body do
A little bit of loving and attention for you
Although we're only strangers
They don't need to know
I gotta cum clean, I gotta cum clean
Ooh, I got a crush on you

I want to get serious right away
One-two, I got a crush on you
What you doin' today or any other day?
One-two, I got a crush on you
Just one look and I go insane
One-two, I got a crush on you

Your daddy never comes to get you
Cause lives so far away
But his I-talian chauffeur shows up every day
But I'll get you in the corner, I'll get you all
alone
I gotta cum clean, I gotta come clean

I got a crush on you

One-two, I got a crush on you
One-two, I got a crush on you
One-two, I got a crush on you
I said one-two
I got a crush on you

Why should I get a crush on yet?

    LOL yeah it is really romantic for punk. It is kinda synical in a waywith all the backing vocals I think the CLash did it for a laugh in a way.

    Yes a bit cynical- notice the different spellings of the word come. I think Mick Jones wrote this before the Clash formed- with the London SS.

    It's about falling for a girl to the point where it's like a physical need, and where it doesn't matter if your friends are clowning on you for it.

    This song really nails that emotion of giddiness you get when you're falling for someone.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
