Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
Oh, shit (oh, shit, oh, shit)
Are you ready for this?
Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit
Oh
It's me
Fergie
The Pen!
Polow
(Fergie, Ferg, what's up baby?)

When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)

All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)
I'm such a lady, but I'm dancing like a hoe (oh shit)
'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go (oh shit)

How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like

How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like

Drinks start pouring
And my speech start slurring
Everybody start looking real good

That Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels)
It's like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I'm like, get up out my face
Before I turn around and spray your ass with mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that, I got the bass

How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like

Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?

Another A-T-L
Cali callabo
Fergie and Polow

When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)

All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)

How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like

Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like

    The beat is catchy and you can't help but nod your head.

    That being said, the lyrics are asanine and sound like someone wrote them five minutes before they recorded the song. I highly doubt Fergie wrote either the beat or the lyrics so you can't credit her for the beat or diss her for the lyrics.

    As far as the premise of the song? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's about Fergie wanting to fuck whatever guy she's talking about.

    Another hip-hop pop song that will be on Top 40 radio for about 2-3 weeks then dissapear forever.

    The first verse is obviously about using her fame to get benefits those who are not as well-off or good-looking can have, and exploiting it to teenage girls to make records. Then of course the "me love you long time" is a beautiful reference to the vietnam war in which we blew up the villages of many innocent families, and many of the girls were left to whore themselves out for money, and since their english was so bad, they said it like that.

    Second verse is about dancing around and acting like a whore, but not admitting to it. However, she uses the shorter term "ho" for whore. This is incorrect. Hos get paid, she means sluts. They give it up for free.

    The third verse is about getting really drunk and feeling kinda slutty, then wandering about without her shoes on. Fourth, she gets upset because the papparazzi is trying to take a picture of her while she's puking her brains out. I'm assuming this is the source of "the bass" which she claims to have.

    Well, since at no time was London Bridge a drawbridge, I grew confused at first. Then I realized that somewhere in the meth-bender Fergie had in the late 90's she studied the history of London quite feverishly, being that she couldn't sleep. She knew that it was the only bridge across the River Thames, and as such, the only way into London. On occasion, the bridge was destroyed to prevent enemy troops from crossing into their city. In a brilliant metaphor, she is likening this to her situation with the paparazzi, with whom she wishes to "burn her bridges". However, I'm still not clear on if she meant from the the Normans or the Danes. Clearly she includes her dancing friends to protect them from the paparazzi/ danish/ gaul invasion. What an amazing songwriter!!!

    There is a good chance there are errors in these lyrics. I transcribed to the best of my ability, but missed out on some of the shouted stuff in the background and some of the softer stuff she says between choruses. If there are any changes, just leave a comment here and I'll be sure to edit as they're receieved.

    This song is great. It's the next hollaback girl for sure. Yeah, I think there are some errors in this song. After she says ahh la da da da, she says some jibberish between that that I didn't really catch.

    This song is WAY too catchy. Other than that there isn't anything good about it.

    your wrong. I think fergie did write this song if you read the lyrics closely. It's her style. I dont think someone could have wrote this for her. She's been in the music biz for quite a while and she's 31.

    I disagree, anyone who sings hip-hop or pop CAN'T actually sing, and btw they really don't write their own songs. That's just rubbish.

    I love this song, it is so catchy!

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
