All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly: Jack give me some money to pay my bills

Jack: All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills

Holly: Jack will you call me if you're able?

Jack: I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible

Holly: Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?

Meg: You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?

Holly: Well I would but Meg
I really just don't know how

Meg: Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'

Jack: Well I would Holly but love really bores me

All: Then i guess we should just be friends

Jack: I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your English lovin'

Holly: If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself

Jack: If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else

Holly: Jack it's too bad about the way you look

Jack: You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot

Meg: Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about

All: Well it's true that we love one another

Holly: I love Jack White like a little brother

Jack: Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

    "Holly give me some of your English lovin'

    If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven Why don't you go off and love yourself?

    If I did that Holly there won't be anything Left for anybody else"

    Strangely dirty for the White Stripes, but hilarious.

    holly golightly was the name of Audrey Hepburns character in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, old old great great movie. It makes me think that maybe it's just some hooker jack found in London when they were making this record, and he decided to have a duet with her. apparently, ive heard, london has great hookers.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
