She's an angel, but she sins sometimes
Dressed in white, gets drunk on red wine
Everyone loves her
But a child plays for pleasure and she'll play with your heart until she
Breaks down your defences one by one
So line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down
'Cause Alisha rules the world
You think you found a dream, then it shatters and it seems,
That Alisha rules the world
For her love of power, and she's as fragile as a flower
But you better
Line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world

Alisha always walks where angels fear to fly
Perfection baby - you know you're qualified
Everyone loves her
But a child plays for pleasure and she'll play with your heart until she
Breaks down your defences one by one

So line up your soldiers, and she'll shoot them all down
'Cause Alisha rules the world
You think you found a dream, then it shatters and it seems,
That Alisha rules the world
For her love of power, and she's as fragile as a flower
But you better
Line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down
'Cause Alisha rules the world

And when it all comes down you realize
It's just her playful heart inside your mind

So line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world
So line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world

Alisha rules the world

You think you've found a dream

Alisha rules the world

Line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world
You think you found a dream, then it shatters and it seems,
That Alisha rules the world

So line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world
You think you found a dream, then it shatters and it seems,
That Alisha rules the world

So line up your soldiers and she'll shoot them all down,
'Cause Alisha rules the world

    I've always liked this song. It kind of reminds me of my best friend who's currently after my boyfriend.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

Punchline
