well I was bored with the lesbian scene
I told myself I gotta find another thing
so I strapped on my boots
and I walked down the street
and I rolled right in to the local d.k.b.
(drag king bar, that is)

when I walked in at quarter to eight
well I thought that I might be straight
at the drag kind bar last night
it's unlike me to look at boys
when the girls are packing toys
I can dig that scene all right

then across the bar
he played the air guitar
and mouthed those words real sexy
it was then that I surely knew
that this one would be a two
if I played my cards just right

well I was drunk and I was bored
and he was cute so I was lured
at the drag king bar last night
where all the boys are really girls
and the fags whip out their pearls
at the drag king bar last night

then at a quarter to ten
he scoped me again
and drank his beer so sexy
it was then that I surely knew
that this one would be a two
by the end of the night tonight

then he used the line that works everytime
he said hey is this seat taken?
I said no he said let's go
I said where I don't care
I'm a scorpio
take me home right now

then at a quarter to twelve
as I began to delve
into that drag king last night
well my thoughts were so strange
boy my luck sure had changed
I was queen to the king last night

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
