Guess Who by Alabama Shakes

Today’s earworm. All I want is some peace of mind.

I can’t tell you how I feel, but I do

Those things they say can’t get to me, but they do

I don’t see the sky as blue, as you do

Should I fantasize? There must be some way to love again

It’s been so hard for a girl like me, it’s true

People say I look just like my daddy, ‘cause I do

All I really want is peace of mind

Why is everything so complicated?

Why is everyone so infatuated?

I gather myself safely

To a life [?]

Everybody’s leaving all the time

All I really want is peace of mind

Police and Thieves by Junior Murvin

Police and thieves in the streets

Oh yeah!

Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition

Police and thieves in the street

Oh yeah!

Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition

From Genesis to Revelation

The next generation will be hear me

From Genesis to Revelation

The next generation will be hear me

And all the crowd comes in day by day

No one stop it in anyway

And all the peacemaker turn war officer

Hear what I say

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

From Genesis oh yeah

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

Scaring, fighting the nation

Shooting, shooting their guns and ammunition

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

Here come, here come, here come

The station is bombed

Get out get out get out you people

If you don’t wanna get blown up

B a noBody by SOAK

I’m just amazed by SOAK aka Bridie Monds-Watson from Derry, Northern Ireland. It’s hard to believe she’s only 18 years old.

The teenage hope

Is an unguarded time

We’re trying hard

To make something of what we are

We’ll never mind

Did anything

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

You ring, you ring about the show

You’re bleeding

I watched, I saw you’re mindful

Out of your head

We came, cheap things

Risked it all for what you find

We’ll never mind

Did anything

(x2)

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a nobody

Sea Creatures by SOAK

SOAK aka Bridie Monds-Watson from Derry, Northern Ireland is well beyond her 18 years of age. She sings with such powerful emotion. The lyrics are impressive too. I believe she wrote Sea Creatures when she was 16 years old.

The stars and moon remind me of you

I don’t know what to say

It might make you worse.

I don’t understand

What her problem is

I think she’s just a fish.

And now you get it back,

You don’t deserve this.

And I won’t put up

With their ignorance.

When they tell you

They love you,

Well, they don’t mean it.

I don’t think they know what they mean.

I don’t think they know what love is.

Throw it around like it’s worthless.

I don’t think they know what love is.

I don’t get this town.

Neither do you.

We should run away,

Just me and you.

Cause I don’t get the people here.

They’re curious.

They don’t really care.

Sea creatures interfere.

Wish they would disappear.

They don’t know what love is.

Throw it around like it’s worthless.

They don’t know what love is.

I pray for you, and you know I don’t like Jesus.

Want you to get better.

Please, please get better,

For you, for me.
