Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
An' just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed,
Nothin' seems to fit,
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
They keep fallin'...

So i just did me some talkin' to the sun,
And i said i didn't like the way he got things done,
Sleepin' on the job,
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
They keep fallin'...

But there's one thing, i know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me...

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
Cryin's not for me,
'cause, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because i'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me...

But there's one thing, i know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me . . .

... One two three four
Five six seven eight...

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
Cryin's not for me,
'cause, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because i'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me...

    I've got to tell yoiu a funny story about this song.

    I teach English in Taiwan. The folks here like our "lite" pop culture, like our happy-go-lucky cartoon characters, our "date movies," and our lighter songs.

    There was this one nice lady I would hang out with to help her brush up on her English. We both like movies, and talk about our favorite movies quite a bit.

    I need to preface the following. When I think of "Raindrops," I think of the B.J.Thomas version, which I would guess many U.S. folks regard as sort of weak and ofay.

    Anyway, one day I popped in to see this family, and the lady came out. We were talking about movies again, and she said, "Oh! I have a great movie, a classic! It's got that famous popular song..." and she started humming "Raindrops." My face must've looked pretty squinched up with puzzlement because Melody said, "Hold on," and ran into the house to get the DVD cover so I could see the movie. While she was in the house, I was racking my brain trying to think of a "classic" movie featuring "Raindrops." I drew a blank.

    Anyway, she came running out of the house with the DVD in her hand. As she approached, I could finally read the title. It was...wait for it!...

    The Bridge on the River Kwai

    I reflected for about 2 seconds, then said, "No, Melody, you've got the wrong song!" and I started to whistle the famous work tune. She said, "Right, right; that's it!"

    But I almost fell over laughing! I mean, think about it!: Imagine those poor, dysentery-ridden, overworked, underfed wretches slogging chest deep in red muddy water, bearing timbers twice their own weight, singing, "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head!"

    Get the picture?

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
