Standing here on this burning bridge
Trying to figure out but there's nothing here
Seem like they got the fear

Cattle grids rattle gold chains, pay it back
Just cancel the chickens
And tell your son, that he should steal the gold

Kings send their knights
Check these soul satellites
Test transmission
Is calling me back home

Too messed up to perform this,
Can't you see ill only miss you now and memories
They get washed to the seas

Feeding tape through the fabric must tune in
Unless you're trapped tomorrow
And get out the sun, get out before it gets you back

Kings send their knights
Check these souls satellites
Test transmission
Is calling me back home

And I feel, close enough,
Taste the change
Feel the rays,
Its gonna get you again,
Setting sun is coming back again

    come on people! this song is awesome! it's the best song to clap along to!

    I think this song is about troops being sent out to war, is my guess...

    Standing here on this burning bridge Trying to figure out but there’s nothing here Seem like they got the fear - everyone has abandoned him at the post? Cattle grids rattle gold chains pay it back Just cancel the chickens And tell your son that he should steal the gold - I... have no clue.

    The kings send their knights... president sending troops test transmission... is calling me back home - wanting to go back home.

    To messed up to perform this- self explanitory can't you see I'll only miss you now and memories They get washed to the seas - noting how much he misses his loved one Feeding tape through the fabric must tune in Unless you’re trapped tomorrow - hmmm my guess is tuning into TV/radio/ect, unless you're under fire or something.. I don't know... And get out the sun, get out before it gets you back- getting some sun before he gets... shot at?

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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
