Bay Of Pigs

Machine Head

I gotta rise, I'm sick of your lies
And I won't be your scapegoat now
Ain't gonna bend
And won't 'til the end
Understand on my word I vow

A pig, a pig, that's all you'll ever be
Refuse to cower to the swine

I'm sick of it, at the end of my wits
'Cause next time that you fuck with mine

I'm gonna snap like
I never have before

Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations

I got a friend might
Not walk again
And your laws
Never helped at all
Go fuck your clause, your
Probable cause
Power trippin' above us tall

Afraid, afraid and so you better be
'Cause when I call you're not around
Serve and protect

And give some respect
Next time that you shake me down

I'm gonna snap like
I never have before

Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations

Your lies despised
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations

    And it reminds me of the song "Dittohead" by slayer (which Machine Head also played live along with slayer :)

    "The legal system has no spine It's corroding from inside Slap your hand you'll do no time"

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,

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

Amazing

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.
