Got up in the morning to find myself a future
In the Sunday classified
But then I spilled my coffee and then the telephone was ringing
Guess I got distracted but hey at least I tried
And there's just oh so many hours in a day
And oh so many little things get in the way
Like who's on Oprah and Rosie
I think my bed is too cozy
Yeah that must be it
The reason I can't motivate

Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get a life
Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get it soon
Cuz rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain't cool

Get up Monday make an afternoon appointment
Fix my hair as best I can
And then I ride on over but by the time I get there
"The job's been filled dear but thanks again"
And there's just oh so many reasons they can find
You're always either under or over-qualified
So who's on Oprah and Rosie
I'll go back to bed where it's cozy
Yeah that's my plan
Maybe next week try again

Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get a life
Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get it soon
Cuz rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain't cool

Hours pass and the days go by
And I still haven't done a thing
And I'm not proud of my laziness
But life can be discouraging

Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get a life
Do-do-do-do-do-do Gotta get it soon
Cuz rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain't cool

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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
