This here song is about John W Smoke Junior
It's about bein' in love and lovin' the love that's hatin' the love that loves and the love and the hateless love that revolves around the loveless hate that's the hateless love and the love that's lovin' the love and the hate that's hatin' the love, it's lovin' the hate

It's about John W Smoke's mom, it's with his mom
it's about his mom it's about his mom it's about lovin his mom
and bein' without his mom and lovin' the hate that's hatin' the love
and his mom and all the time they're there
Hatin' the hate that's lovin' the hate it's love it's the loveless hate
And it goes somethin' about like this

John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
John Smoke, oh John E Smoke
Whaoh John E Smoke, John E John E John E John
John, John Smoke
John E Smoke
Here we go

John, John was a little crippled midget lesbian boy
but he stood ten foot tall with a knife
Pretty soon a mole had appeared on John's left leg
and rope-like it extended out 469 different miles
and verily verily it was 69 different nuns
speaking simultaneously to John in 69 different languages
And then it evolved itself and it was the legless dog that become
a cyclone out of John's father's forehead
And there is was like a Twinkie with a halo storm in it
and it revolved down into the sky and talked to John
like he was a little puppy himself
And John said that I am not the magma, I am not the crust
and I shall evolve and the rain it come down and it washed on John
And he said that I will be a cigarette butt before it's all done with
And they said "No, you are the flame itself and you shall burn pure
in the South American sky where the blood dogs worship the stairway."

John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
oh John Smoke, ooo OW!
John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
oh oh John E Smoke
oh John E John E John E John E John E John E John E John E John E
John E John E Jooooooooooooooooo

And so brainlessly leglessly hairlessly the foil-tipped condom itself
had revealed to John that the QE-2 luxury liner had extended out of John's left side
And so it had preached to him Mars is just sram backwards
and upwardly they did evolve
Downward they fell like a thin sheet of waste product that had come up in John's body
His body was no longer the tribe vehicle to express himself
And he could not be the dog and the dog's eyes which had blood comin' out like they were
ropes around John's leg and pulled him up, like he was a canoe and and he flew
on the live essence of himself, to South America where he was in love.

    A song about a country western boy, i think some farmer camper having lived to long with his mother, turned into psychopat, and ended up as an inmate. Some parody on television interviews, who has Johney ?.. Johney was a ... Parody on western country music as well, its not a feel good song but its a turned bad song, the kid became evil. He became the cancer of his own. Its not a clear view its full of smoke and an intentionally vague life.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

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.
