Facebook to Test Emoji as Reaction Icons
By VINDU GOEL October 10, 2015
Facebook新表情讓你表達負面情緒
VINDU GOEL 20151010
SAN FRANCISCO — Despite the billions of “likes” bestowed on Facebook posts every month, something has been missing: an option to express a different emotion.
舊金山——儘管Facebook的帖子每個月都會收到數十億個「讚」,但還是缺了點東西:表達不同情感的選項。
On Thursday, Facebook announced it will begin testing six new emotional reactions that you can convey with a simple emoji, similar to the thumbs-up “like” icon that the social networking service has made so famous.
Facebook在週四宣佈將開始測試六個新的表情符號,用戶可以通過簡單的表情符號表達情緒,與該社交網絡服務捧紅的大拇指符號代表的「讚」類似。
The six new emoji depict various expressions, from an open mouth to express surprise to a scowling red face for anger. The other four emotions are love, laughter, sadness and a supportive cheer.
這六個新表情符號描述了各種各樣的表情,從表示吃驚的張大嘴巴,到表示憤怒的紅臉。另外四個符號分別代表愛、大笑、悲傷和支持歡呼。
除了「贊」之外,新增的六個表情符號,表達從吃驚到憤怒等各種不同的情緒。
Facebook除了「」之外,新增的六個表情符號,表達從吃驚到憤怒等各種不同的情緒。
The new reaction icons will be available to most Facebook users in Spain and Ireland by the end of this week. Adam Mosseri, who oversees Facebook’s news feed, said the company would evaluate how people in those two countries use the new buttons and refine them, before expanding the rollout to the company’s 1.5 billion users worldwide later this year.
至本週末,西班牙及愛爾蘭的大部分Facebook用戶將可以開始使用這些新表情符號。Facebook負責新聞訂閱事宜的亞當·莫塞裡(Adam Mosseri)表示,該公司會評估這兩個國家的用戶使用新按鈕的情況,進行改進,然後在今年晚些時候將適用範圍擴展至全球15億用戶。
“How do people use it? Is this the right set of reactions?” Mr. Mosseri said in an interview.
莫塞裡接受採訪時表示,「人們會怎麼使用?這些代表了正確的反應嗎?」
Mark E. Zuckerberg, Facebook’s co-founder and chief executive, said last month that the company planned to test a way to “dislike” a post. “I do think it’s important to give people more options than just like,” he said at that time.
Facebook聯合創始人、首席執行官馬克·E·紮克伯格(Mark E. Zuckerberg)在上個月表示,該公司計劃測試一種表示「不喜歡」一篇帖子的方法。他當時表示,「我覺得給人們提供除了讚之外的更多選擇是非常重要的。」
While none of the new buttons are labeled that way, the angry and sad faces are designed to be tools for users to express negative emotions in a sympathetic way.
雖然新按鈕沒有這種情緒表達,但憤怒和悲傷的面部表情旨在讓用戶通過表示同情的方式表達負面情緒。
To Keep Teenagers Alert, Schools Let Them Sleep In
By JAN HOFFMANOctober 19, 2015
為保學生睡眠,美國中學推遲上課
教育JAN HOFFMAN20151019
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Jilly Dos Santos really did try to get to school on time. She set three successive alarms on her phone. Skipped breakfast. Hastily applied makeup while her fuming father drove. But last year she rarely made it into the frantic scrum at the doors of Rock Bridge High School here by the first bell, at 7:50 a.m.
密蘇里州哥倫比亞市為了按時到校,吉莉·多斯桑托斯(Jilly Dos Santos)已經使盡了渾身解數。她在手機上連着設了三個鬧鐘,早餐也顧不上吃,在父親氣沖沖駕車的途中匆匆化妝。但即使這樣,去年她幾乎也從未成功在早上7:50預備鈴響之前衝進石橋高中(Rock Bridge High School)大門口蜂擁的學生群中。
Then she heard that the school board was about to make the day start even earlier, at 7:20 a.m.
然後她聽說,學校董事會正準備將上課時間提前到7:20
“I thought, if that happens, I will die,” recalled Jilly, 17. “I will drop out of school!”
「我想要真這樣我就死定了,」17歲的吉莉回憶道。「我會輟學的!」
That was when the sleep-deprived teenager turned into a sleep activist. She was determined to convince the board of a truth she knew in the core of her tired, lanky body: Teenagers are developmentally driven to be late to bed, late to rise. Could the board realign the first bell with that biological reality?
就是從這時候起,這名總是睡眠不足的少女變身為睡眠捍衛者。她決心要說服學校董事會,使他們也認識到她那疲憊、瘦高的身體一再告訴她的真相:青少年正處在生長發育階段,這註定了他們就是要晚睡晚起。學校董事會能不能根據這個生物學上的事實重新調整預備鈴的時間?
The sputtering, nearly 20-year movement to start high schools later has recently gained momentum in communities like this one, as hundreds of schools in dozens of districts across the country have bowed to the accumulating research on the adolescent body clock.
20年來,試圖推遲高中上課時間的運動一直進展得不溫不火。但近來,日積月累的青少年生物鐘研究逐漸得到全美各地幾十個學區中的數百所學校的普遍認同,就像吉莉所在的社區這樣,該活動的發展勢頭也隨之改善。
Researchers have found that during adolescence, as hormones surge and the brain develops, teenagers who regularly sleep eight to nine hours a night learn better and are less likely to be tardy, get in fights or sustain athletic injuries. Sleeping well can also help moderate their tendency toward impulsive or risky decision-making.
研究人員發現,在青春期,青少年體內激素激增,大腦發育,他們在每夜日常睡眠達八到九個小時時學習效果較好,也較不容易遲到、打架或經常發生運動傷害。良好的睡眠也可以幫助減少他們冒失衝動或做出冒險決定
During puberty, teenagers have a later release of the “sleep” hormone melatonin, which means they tend not to feel drowsy until around 11 p.m. That inclination can be further delayed by the stimulating blue light from electronic devices, which tricks the brain into sensing wakeful daylight, slowing the release of melatonin and the onset of sleep. The Minnesota study noted that 88 percent of the students kept a cellphone in their bedroom.
青春期期間,「睡眠」激素——褪黑激素的釋放有所延遲,這意味著青少年們往往直到晚上11點左右才會覺得昏昏欲睡。電子設備發出的藍光會誤導人的大腦,使其以為感覺到了干擾入睡的日光,在此刺激下,褪黑激素的釋放進一步受到延緩,睡意就愈發姍姍來遲。明尼蘇達大學的研究指出,88%的學生都在卧室裡放有手機。
But many parents, and some students, object to shifting the start of the day later. They say doing so makes sports practices end late, jeopardizes student jobs, bites into time for homework and extracurricular activities, and upsets the morning routine for working parents and younger children.
不過許多家長以及一些學生都反對推遲上課時間。他們認為,這樣體育鍛煉就得拖到很晚才能結束,影響學生打工,侵佔做家庭作業和從事課外活動的時間,還會擾亂需要工作的父母和年齡較小的孩子們早晨的時間安排。
At heart, though, experts say, the resistance is driven by skepticism about the primacy of sleep.
不過,專家表示,從本質上來說,會產生這種抗拒思維是因為他們對睡眠的重要意義持懷疑態度。
That Wednesday, she pulled an all-nighter. She created a Facebook page and set up a Twitter account, alerting hundreds of students about the school board meeting: “Be there to have a say in your school district’s decisions on school start times!”
那一周的周三,她熬了個通宵,創建了一個Facebook頁面和一個Twitter帳戶,提醒數百名學生關注學校董事會的會議:「如果你對所在學區的上課時間決策有自己的看法,請出席會議並發言!」
She then got in touch with Start School Later, a nonprofit group that provided her with scientific ammunition. She recruited friends and divided up sleep-research topics. With a blast of emails, she tried to enlist the help of every high school teacher in the district. She started an online petition.
然後,她與非營利性組織「推遲上課時間(Start School Later)取得了聯繫,並從該組織獲得了所需的科學依據。她招募友人與她分擔睡眠研究課題,並發出大量電子郵件,儘力爭取該學區內每一位高中老師的幫助。她還在網上發起了請願活動。
The students she organized made hundreds of posters and fliers, and posted advice on Twitter: “If you are going to be attending the board meeting tomorrow we recommend that you dress up!”
在她的組織下,同學們製作了上百張的海報和宣傳單,並在Twitter上張貼建議:「如果你要出席明天的董事會會議,建議你穿上正裝!」
The University of Minnesota study tracked 9,000 high school students in five districts in Colorado, Wyoming and Minnesota before and after schools shifted start times. In those that originally started at 7:30 a.m., only a third of students said they were able to get eight or more hours of sleep. Students who got less than that reported significantly more symptoms of depression, and greater use of caffeine, alcohol and illegal drugs than better-rested peers.
明尼蘇達大學的研究跟蹤了科羅拉多州、懷俄明州和明尼蘇達州五個學區的9000名高中生,並對學校改變上課時間前後他們的各種情況進行了比較。在原本早晨7:30開始上課的學校中,只有三分之一的學生表示可以保證至少八小時的睡眠。與可以得到較好休息的同學們相比,睡眠時間低於上述時間的學生報告的抑鬱症癥狀顯著較多,含咖啡因食品、酒類及非法藥物的攝入量也顯著較大。
Many researchers say that quality sleep directly affects learning because people store new facts during deep-sleep cycles. During the rapid-eye-movement phases, the brain is wildly active, sorting and categorizing the day’s data. The more sleep a teenager gets, the better the information is absorbed.
許多研究人員認為,睡眠質量可以直接影響到學習好壞,是因為人體需要在深睡階段儲存新的知識。在快速眼動睡眠期,大腦高度活躍,對白天的數據資料進行整理和分類。青少年的睡眠時間越充足,他們吸收信息的效果就越好。
“Without enough sleep,” said Jessica Payne, a sleep researcher and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, “teenagers are losing the ability not only to solidify information but to transform and restructure it, extracting inferences and insights into problems.”
聖母大學(University of Notre Dame)的心理學助理教授,睡眠研究員傑茜卡·佩恩(Jessica Payne)表示:「睡眠不足令青少年喪失的不僅僅是鞏固信息的能力,還有將信息轉化和重組,引申出推論並深入洞察問題本質的能力。」
The high schools in the district have tried to adjust, for example by adding Wi-Fi access to buses so athletes can do homework on the road. Some classes meet only one or two days a week, and are supplemented with online instruction. More sports practices and clubs convene before school.
該學區的高中也在嘗試進行一些調整,以適應新作息時間表,例如,在大巴上增加Wi-Fi服務,以便運動員們在途中做作業。有些課程每周只授課一兩天,再輔以在線輔導。同時,也有更多體育活動和俱樂部選擇在早晨上課前集會。
Some parents and first-period teachers are seeing a payoff in students who are more rested and alert.
一部分家長和頭一堂課的老師已經看到了回報:學生休息得更好,精神也更足。
STATE OF THE ART
Behind the Failure of Leap Transit’s Gentrified Buses in San Francisco
By FARHAD MANJOO October 15, 2015
矽谷公司之死:生於富貴毀於奢華
FARHAD MANJOO 20151015
The first thing you notice when hanging around technology startups is the cultural importance that Silicon Valley ascribes to snacking, with a company's snack bar often standing as a rough proxy for the scope of its ambitions.
光顧科技創業公司時,你注意到的第一件事就是矽谷賦予零食的文化重要性。一家公司的小吃吧通常可以粗略地體現出它的雄心壯志。
Square, Jack Dorsey's payments business, boasts a gleaming coffee bar with a barista who hosts classes on the best ways to brew. On one trip to Facebook, I was treated to an otherworldly bag of popcorn. And just about every company has a refrigerator or two stocked with Hint, a subtly flavored brand of bottled water that seems to flow as freely in San Francisco as the tears of the people who were evicted to make room for the incoming software engineers.
傑克·多爾西(Jack Dorsey)創辦的支付業務公司Square擁有一間閃亮的咖啡吧,那裡的咖啡師會宣講調製咖啡的最佳手法。有一次去Facebook,迎接我的是一袋妙不可言的爆米花。而且幾乎每家公司都有一兩台裝滿Hint的冰箱。這是一種口感特殊的瓶裝水,似乎在舊金山肆意流淌,就像為給將來的軟件工程師騰出空間而被趕走的人們的眼淚一樣。
Even when a startup's dreams are deferred, the snacks hang on, as I learned during a recent visit to the buses that were once owned by Leap Transit, a startup that once had aspirations of revolutionizing urban transportation.
即使一家創業公司的夢想受挫,零食卻會堅持下去,就像我最近去看Leap Transit曾經擁有的大巴車時瞭解的那樣。這家創業公司一度懷揣徹底變革城市交通的夢想。
提供豪華大巴交通服務的舊金山初創企業Leap Transit一敗塗地。
Jason Henry for The New York Times提供豪華大巴交通服務的舊金山初創企業Leap Transit一敗塗地。
Leap, which raised $2.5 million from some of the industry's best-known investors, charged riders $6 to get across San Francisco, nearly three times the price of a city bus. Its primary draw was luxury. Each bus had a wood-trimmed interior outfitted with black leather seats, individual USB ports and Wi-Fi. The buses also offered a steady stream of gourmet snacks, sold via app.
Leap從一些赫赫有名的行業投資者那裡融資250萬美元,向穿越舊金山的乘客收取6美元車費。這幾乎是市政公交車三倍的價格。它的主要吸引力是奢華。每輛車內部都有木質內飾,並配備黑色真皮座椅、專享的USB埠和Wi-Fi。這些車還提供大量的精美小食,通過應用程式出售。
I'd come to the see the buses to find out what it looks like when a startup bites the dust. The luxury vehicles were up for auction; Leap filed for bankruptcy in July. The end for Leap apparently came so suddenly that its founders didn't have time to remove much from the vehicles. Inside each bus sitting in an out-of-the-way parking lot near Oakland, California, was a state registration form pinned to the wall, a bundle of iPhone and HDMI cables, and a display case full of snacks. Among the choices were packages of That's It — vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO fruit bars — and organic, paleo Simple Squares.
我來看這些車,是想瞭解一家創業公司一敗塗地會是什麼樣子。所有的豪華車都被拿出來拍賣;Leap7月份申請破產。Leap的末日顯然來得極為突然,它的創始人甚至沒有時間從車上拆掉多少東西。這些車停放在加州奧克蘭附近一座偏僻的停車場裡,每輛車內部有釘在車上的州級註冊表、一束iPhoneHDMI線,以及一個滿是小吃的展示櫃。其中有幾包「That’s It——素食、無麩質、非轉基因的水果棒——和遵循遠古飲食法的有機Simple Squares零食。
Leap is one of at least several dozen tech companies that have failed this year. Their deaths are illuminating; dead startups show us which investors' theories are bogus, which technologies aren't ready for prime time, and which common ways founders overextend themselves. They also outline the frontiers of what the current market for tech products and services will bear.
Leap是今年以來至少數十個失敗的科技公司之一。他們的死亡頗具啟發性;倒閉的創業公司告訴我們,投資者的哪些理論是泡沫的,哪種技術還沒有準備就緒,以及創始人通常用哪種方法透支自己。它們也勾勒出了高科技產品和服務目前的市場能承受的邊界。
Sanwal estimated that the number of startup failures increased in 2015, but he believed the uptick was most likely because many more companies were founded and funded a few years ago, as the tech market began heating up.
桑瓦爾估計失敗創業公司的數量在2015年有所增加,但他相信這種上揚很可能是因為許多企業是在幾年前科技市場開始升溫的時候成立並獲得融資的。
“There were companies that went in at the top of the funnel, so a lot more of them are meeting that fate,” he said.
「有不少公司是在漏斗的頂部進入的,所以遭遇這種命運的也要多得多,」他說。
Some companies can escape their image. Uber, a company whose endless run-ins with authorities have covered its brand in an ethical haze, is still experiencing growth because the product remains truly useful to riders and drivers. But the winners are the exceptions. Most companies can't repeat unlikely success.
一些公司可以逃避自己的形象問題。例如優步,它與有關當局無休止的爭執與對抗已讓其品牌蒙上一層道德陰霾,但卻仍在不斷發展,因為它的產品對乘客和司機確實有用。但贏家是例外。大多數公司無法重複這種不太可能的成功。
Leap tried. Despite the snacks, it failed.
Leap嘗試了。儘管提供了零食,它還是失敗了。

Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High)
" Habits "

I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people gettin' it on
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all

I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub
Then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda lonely

You're gone and I gotta stay
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life
To forget I'm missing you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Pick up daddies at the playground
How I spend my day time
Loosen up the frown,
Make them feel alive
Oh, make it fast and greasy
I'm numb and way too easy

You're gone and I gotta stay
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life
To forget I'm missing you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Ooh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Ooh

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Ooh
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

You're gone and I gotta stay
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life
To forget I'm missing you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh



Taylor Swift - Blank Space
"Blank Space"
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name



Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
"Shake It Off"

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake

Yeah ohhh

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you've got to),
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

I'm something weak
You got me begging, begging
I'm on my knees

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away, ooh, baby,
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste

[Chorus:]
Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving

Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me?

You are the one thing, one thing
I'm living for

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't wanna be needing your love

'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste

[Chorus:]
Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me?

My broken pieces
You pick them up
Don't leave me hanging, hanging
Come give me some
When I'm without ya
I'm so insecure
You are the one thing, one thing
I'm living for

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away, ooh, baby,
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste

[Chorus:]
Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here,
'Cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar! (sugar!)
Yes, please (yes, please)
Won't you come and put it down on me?

Yeah
I want that red velvet
I want that sugar sweet
Don't let nobody touch it
Unless that somebody's me
I gotta be your man
There ain't no other way
'Cause girl you're hotter than a southern California day

I don't wanna play no games
You don't gotta be afraid
Don't give me all that shy shit
No make-up on
That's my

[Chorus:]
Sugar
Yes, please (please)
Won't you come and put it down on me (down on me)?
I'm right here (right here), 'cause I need ('cause I need)
Little love, a little sympathy
So, baby, (yeah) you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar! (sugar!)

Your sugar! (sugar!)
Yes, please (yes, please)
Won't you come and put it down on me? (down on me, down on me)



Maroon 5 - Maps
"Maps"

I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I’m searching for a song tonight
I’m changing all of the stations

I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following

I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can’t get over you
No, I just can’t get over you

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do

Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do

Following, following, following



MAGIC! - Rude
"Rude"

Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway

Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude

I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?

Pharrell Williams - Happy
"Happy"

[Verse 1:]
It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

{Uh}

[Chorus:]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why

[Chorus]

{Hey
Go
Uh}

[Bridge:]

Bring me down
Can't nothing

My level's too high

Iggy Azalea - Black Widow ft. Rita Ora
"Black Widow"
(feat. Rita Ora)

[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

[Iggy Azalea:]
This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
It was us against the world and now we just fucking
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
Might, might be me believing what you say that you never mean
Like it'll last forever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing

[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

Black, black widow, baby

[Iggy Azalea:]
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
You've never met nobody
That'll do you how I do ya
That will bring you to your knees
Praise Jesus hallelujah
I'm-a make you beg for it, plead for it
Till you feel like you breathe for it
Till you do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
Till it's got you gasping for air
And you lean for it
'Till they have a CAT scan and check on your mind
And it's nothing but me, on it (on it, on it, on it)
Now it's me-time believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I wouldn't promise I need that
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back go quick
Cause this here a fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit

[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]
You used to be thirsty for me (Right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

Bl-bl-bla-black widow, baby



Iggy Azalea - Fancy
"Fancy"
(feat. Charli XCX)

[Verse 1 — Iggy Azalea:]
First thing's first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Murda Bizness
I could hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (what?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that

[Chorus — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Verse 2 — Iggy Azalea:]
I said, "Baby, I do this, I thought that you knew this."
Can't stand no haters and honest, the truth is
And my flow retarded, they speak it depart it
Swagger on super, I can't shop at no department
Better get my money on time, if they not money, decline
And swear I meant that there so much that they give that line a rewind
So get my money on time, if they not money, decline
I just can't worry 'bout no haters, gotta stay on my grind
Now tell me, who that, who that? That do that, do that?
Put that paper over all, I thought you knew that, knew that
I be the I-G-G-Y, put my name in bold
I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw

[Chorus — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Bridge — Charli XCX:]
Trash the hotel
Let's get drunk on the mini bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what I want
Yeah, keep on turning it up
Chandelier swinging, we don't give a fuck
Film star, yeah I'm deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don't get to touch
Ow...

[Verse 3 — Iggy Azalea:]
Still stuntin', how you love that?
Got the whole world asking how I does that
Hot girl, hands off, don't touch that
Look at it I bet you wishing you could clutch that
It's just the way you like it, huh?
You're so good, he's just wishing he could bite it, huh?
Never turn down nothing,
Slaying these hoes, gold trigger on the gun like

[Chorus — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Outro]
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
Blow

Who-who-who-who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
Blow



Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One
"I'm Not The Only One"

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

[Chorus:]
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

[Chorus:]
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

[Chorus x2:]
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know, no
I know I'm not the only one
