What the Hell I Got - Michel Pagliaro
Listed wrongly on Spotify as "What the Hell I've Got," this catchy pop anthem is from the point of view of a man who is leaving his love, for reasons even he cannot fully articulate: "Don′t know what the hell I got / Whatever it is, it′s an awful lot / Hey, I'm gonna lose control / From my liver to my very soul." There's an interesting line that indicates he's not fully in control of the situation. "Never ever wanna answer the phone / Time and time again I've tried / But someone answers and I know he lies." He's probably not talking about the "baby" he addresses in the song; it seems as if he's referring to himself, watching himself unable to stop destroying his relationship with lies. So he must leave. Recorded in 1975, it's musically ahead of its time, with a real '90s alt-rock sound to it.
