Hey whatcha' say,
An empty day
Won't you be brave
You're everywhere
Oh you disappeared though

A grave mistake
For Heaven's sake
Ya did it all for Jesus
Did ya think it all would please us?

If you step outside
I'll warn you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better

Oooooh, take you home
Hear me
Trespassing

Hey, whatcha say (what you say)
Do ya think you could stay (it's a beautiful day)
Did you do it all for Jesus?
Did ya think it all would please us?

If you step outside
I'll warn you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better

Well I can feel it inside
You got charm and we both know why
Don't turn your back to the sun,
Cause baby babe your gonna burn
My baby's gonna burn down yeah

She tried to tell me... you know
Its kinda weird she's got her mom's...
Thinking back i don't know if it was the right thing to do,
But...
It wasn't enough to hold her hand
It's freaked up

If you step outside
I'll warm you from your suicide
This pain in your eyes
Don't do anything
Just pray for something better
There's always something better
[repeat]

Take you on ...

I can feel it inside
You've got time to make up your mind
Turn your back to the sun
'Cause baby, babe you're gonna burn....

    I'm not 100% sure but I think this song is about Betty. Con said Betty was a girl at his school that "something happened to". Suicide is what the "something" like is becuase that's a cardinal sin and she would need prayers to help her get out of hell for it. I think whichever band member wrote it either tried to help her or was dealing with guilt over not noticing she needed help before she killed herself.

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/
