@[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.
"They called me the Leather Apron
They called me the smiling Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back"
Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
Once again there is pain
I bring flames - I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman
Coming home again
Red drops stain satin so white
"The way I sign my name"
The neighborhood's pretty dead at night
"And I'm the one to blame"
Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
"No-one leaves
The Monsterican Dream"
They called me the smiling Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back"
Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
Once again there is pain
I bring flames - I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman
Coming home again
Red drops stain satin so white
"The way I sign my name"
The neighborhood's pretty dead at night
"And I'm the one to blame"
Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
"No-one leaves
The Monsterican Dream"

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Ok right..im really not sure what the song means, hence y i check this page out too see if anyone else does this is what ive got from the first verse though,...
they call me the leather apron, they called me smiling/violent? jack...
This verse appears to be reffering to Jack The Ripper, who was also reffered to by many at the time as The Leather Apron befor The Murderer gave himself the name of 'Jack the Ripper'
this is what i know for certain, basing my ideas on this i will continue to lookm at other sections of the song...:
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
Well make yyour own conclusion here...
"On this unholy night I will make you my own"
Jack the Ripper murdered prostitutes at night,hed pay them and then brutally murder them...
"The way I sign my name"
Jack the ripper signed his name in blood, he would write letters to the detectives responsible for his capture. he also wrote a a note on a wall one night.
"The neighborhood´s pretty dead at night And I´m the one to blame"
Londons east end tended to become silent and dead at night. people were too afraid to go out and prositutes too afraid to work the streets!
"Scream all you want you won´t wake up when you scream No one leaves"
No one ever heard the screams of Jacks Victims! ever!
i think thats about it... you can reply and ask me more Qs bout jack if u like, this is just a brief outline.
Oh and about the refernce that some of you have made to hell...Jackthe ripper sent a parcel to the chairman of the Mile End Vigilance Committee, the organisation offering a reward for the rippers capture, containing half a human kidney. The parcel had -"From Hell" written on it (for more on the note thatwas also included ask)
