Hooligans on E
Meat pies and burberry
And aquascutum
If you're lucky
Hooligans on E
Discussing symmetry
Said I'd like you, can I join your gang?
Going home in a London ambulance
Going home in a cosmic ambience
Hooligans on E
His soul, his soul walks on water
Hooligans on E
Dancing all day
I like you, can I join your gang?
No, we don't carry coal
And no, we don't carry lead
We only carry hatchets
To bury in your head
No, we don't carry coal
And no, we don't carry lead
We only carry melodies
To bury in your heart and in your head
Meat pies and burberry
And aquascutum
If you're lucky
Hooligans on E
Discussing symmetry
Said I'd like you, can I join your gang?
Going home in a London ambulance
Going home in a cosmic ambience
Hooligans on E
His soul, his soul walks on water
Hooligans on E
Dancing all day
I like you, can I join your gang?
No, we don't carry coal
And no, we don't carry lead
We only carry hatchets
To bury in your head
No, we don't carry coal
And no, we don't carry lead
We only carry melodies
To bury in your heart and in your head

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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.
This is my favourite Libertine's song, mainly because of the history with Lisa Moorish of Kill City. It's infinitely better than the Kill City version, and far better than the Baby Shambles version (From the Sailor Sessions). Does anyone know what album this is from, if any? Supposedly, this song was written by Lisa Moorish, and co written by Peter Doherty and Pete Jones, but I think this is the Peter Doherty version, they lyrics are far better in this than in Kill City's
It was written by the three of them. I like Lisa moorish shes quite rad:)
it is f_cking beautiful!!!!!!, is there a CD version?
I don't have the book to hand, but in one of The numerous Libertines biography's there is a quote from Pete about this song. If I remember correctly, he wrote it himself after attending a Cardiff (or possibly Swansea) footy match in Wales at which the local mob were popping E's after E's instead of getting beered up. There's numerous references to football violence culture of course...
This song's about Carl being a woman.
