Yeah I sure do miss the early days
When I was so drunk
Tied up in so many ways
Looking for the sanctity of love 'cause
I might make you handsome
Yeah, I might give you me
Handsome, it's getting awfully tough
Oh Yeah, to have my peace

If it weren't for this fear, I just might really be someone

But I can make it in peacetime, find some violence hidden you from trained to me
Oh we're startin' up the rain again
Startin' up the rain again
Startin' to look the same again
I said isn't it a shame

It goes by
By a fine wide mile
You'll be there, for me sweetie pie
You'll be there for the dream car
You'll go running away
I might make you handsome
I might give you grief
Try the long way back
Cause it's longer with that black cab
You can stay travellin' with that black cab
But did you heard, I'm the loser

Slap Maybelline Stay hidden yeah remain unseen
Bitch Slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain unseen
Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah
Bitch slap Maybelline stay hidden yeah remain

But why why why why why
But why why

Girl I sure would miss you
Why can't you stay for the death of you 'cause daddy might be coming home soon, might get lost
Yeah you might get lost
Yeah I sure would miss you

Babe don't break, time breaks down
Babe don't break, time knocked down
Babe, yeah, at this rate, time should slow down

    You can find this on the Unknown Pleasures bootleg/EP. Very different track, I didn't like it much at first. But yes, its just a version of Mascara.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

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.
