Raspberry Swirl - Tori Amos

Artist: Tori Amos
Song: Raspberry Swirl
Year: 1998
Album: From The Choirgirl Hotel

Raspberry Swirl is about Amos' past relationship with a female friend and was written in response to the men in her relationships.

Lyrics:
Huh-huh-huh, let's go.
I am not your senorita. I am not from your tribe.
In the gard- in the garden? I did no crime.
I am not your senorita. I am not from your tribe.
If you want inside her, well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl.

Things are getting dear desperate when all the boys can't be men.
Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man...
Things are getting dear desperate when all the boys can't be men.
Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man...


Huh-huh-huh, let's go.
I am not your senorita. I don't aim so high.
In my heart- in my heart? I did no crime.
If you want inside her, well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl.
Ra-a-a-a-aspberry swirl, mmm let's go.
Ra-a-a-a-aspberry swirl (swirl).


Things are getting dear desperate when all the boys can't be men.
Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man...
Things are getting dear desperate, when all the boys can't be men.
Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man...
Things are getting dear desperate when all the boys can't be men.
Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man...


Uh, hey. Ra-a-a-a-aspberry swirl, uh let's go.
Ra-a-a-a-aspberry swirl, you go inside her world.
(And she swirls.)
Yes let's go, ra-a-aspberry swirl, let's go.
(And she swirls, and she swirls again.)
Ra-a-a-a-aspberry swirl.
(And she swirls, and she swirls, and she swirls again.)
Uh, uh, yes.
(And she swirls, and she swirls, and she swirls again.)
(And she swirls, and she swirls, she swirls, and she swirls)
Uh, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh mmm...

Codex - Radiohead

Artist: Radiohead
Song: Codex
Year: 2011
Album: The King Of Limbs

Brand new Radiohead to digest.

Lyrics:

Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Flying to our side
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong

Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water’s clear
And innocent

The water’s clear
And innocent

Fuck You - Cee Lo Green

Artist: Cee Lo Green
Song: Fuck You
Year: 2010
Album: The Lady Killer

This song dug into my brain.

Lyrics:
I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you!"
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too!"

Said if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Hah, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a fuck you

Now look here, I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess she's an Xbox and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair

I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Oops, she's a gold digger, just thought you should know, nigga
Well, I've got some news for you
Yeah, go on and run tell your little boyfriend

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you!"
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too!"

Said if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Hah, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a fuck you

Now I know that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Tryin' to keep ya, tryin' to please ya
'Cause bein' in love with your ass ain't cheap, no

I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Oops, she's a gold digger, just thought you should know, nigga
Well, I've got some news for you
Ooh, I really hate your ass right now

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you!"
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too!"

Said if I was richer, I'd still be with you
Hah, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a fuck you

Now baby, baby, baby
Why you wanna, wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mama
But she told me, "This is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
(Yes, she did)

And I was like, uh
Why?
Why?
Why, baby?

I love you
I still love you, oh

I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
Fuck you!
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her, too!"

Said if I was richer I'd still be with you
Hah, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest, I still wish you the best
With a fuck you
