I won't live to see tomorrow
There won't be another prayer
None of them will ever sorrow
Those who've sentenced me to death

I've been waiting here for ages
For the hangman to appear (the hangman to appear)
Soon the priest will read some pages
From the Bible for my fear

I see a place
An evil place
Coming my way
What can I do
Where can I run
Gonna die anyway
Things are getting clearer
This is the price I have to pay
Oh no

I feel like screaming out my anger
There is so much left here to do
When it happened I was younger
And my destiny was you

I see a place
An evil place
Coming my way
What can I do
Where can I run
Gonna die anyway
Things are getting clearer
This is the price I have to pay

And what can I do about leaving you
We were only halfway through
And what can I say, there was no other way
They wouldn't let me stay

    I'm not sure what the song is about, but Joey Tempest comments in one of their greatest hits album that it's about the "fire" between him and John. I'm not sure which member of the band "John" is because there were two "John"s in the band at the time he wrote this song. I assume they didn't get along well.

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/
