In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

Take time if you're down on luck
It's so easy to walk out on love
Take your time if the going gets tough
It's so precious

So if you want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You've got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

Be brave when the journey is rough
It's not easy when you're in love
Don't be ashamed when the going gets tough
It's not easy
Don't give up

If want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

So if want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

When you find a love (hang on to your love)
Don't let it walk away (hang on)
When you find your love (hang on to your love)
You got to make it stay (hang on)

You've got to hang on to your love (your love)
You've got to hang on to your love (your love)
Why are you walking away? (Hang on)
Why do you play these games? (Hang on)

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
