French Tickler

Sonic Youth

Free time, free time
I have got it gonna get me some
Free time, free time
I would spend it forever captivated
Free time, free time
Would you tell me the secret of yr arm
Free time, free time
Forever fabulastic, blowup, pleasuristic
I feel combustible
That's my will say it all
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Now you better take a deep breath
The smell is just the best
I'll transform even yr breast
You are my new weekend guest
I can't believe this could happen to me
Caught inside someone's knee
Free time, free time
Uncovered forever barest endeavor
Free time, free time
If you want me splash me forever
Free time, free time
Let it happen the leisure, enchanting
Free time, free time
Yr neck is my favorite pleaze don't spare it
I feel combustible that's my will, say it all
Now you better cough up the dough
If you want to join the show
Exotique is not for free
Spend wisely eternity
Engine of desire is on the road
Don't get stuck without a job
Free time, free time
You have got it gonna get me some
Free time, free time
Wandering, fantastic, sparkling demanded
Free time, free time
Did I mention that you control me
Free time, free time
The merest endeavor slightly forever
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Mille feuille
Mille feuille

    Boredom, luxury, and all that comes with them.

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
