Yeah (no)
He took me to our favorite spot
A place we go to hang a lot
Something seemed to catch his eye
Over my shoulder
Over my shoulder
I turned around to see what's up
A pretty young thing sure enough
She was new, he wanted to
Know her
Know her

Ah, yeah, then she flicked her hair (yeah)
Ah, yeah, he began to stare

Waiter (waiter), bring me water
I gotta make him keep his cool
(Waiter) bring me water
He's acting like a fool
(Waiter) bring me water, oh, oh

I did my best to block his view
But it was like he could see through me
I just knew he wanted to
Know her
Hold her

Ah, yeah, I ain't getting nowhere (yeah)
Ah, yeah, she's still standing there

Waiter (waiter), bring me water
I gotta make him keep his cool
(Waiter) bring me water
He's acting like a fool
(Waiter) bring me water, oh, yeah, huh

There's gotta be a way to cool this clown
He's starting to embarrass me
I may even have to hose him down
Bring me water
I don't know what he finds so distracting
What's so hot about her
I really don't like the way he's acting
Bring me water
Uh, bring it on

Oh, what's so hot about her?
Uh, uh, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Waiter) bring me water
I gotta make him keep his cool
(Waiter) bring me water
Send him back to school
(Waiter) bring me water
He's acting like a fool
(Waiter) bring Me water
Waiter, bring me water

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
