@[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.
If it can be broke then it can be fixed
It if can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control (x4)
If it can be lost then it can be won
If it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time (x4)
All you need is
If it can be broke then it can be fixed
It if can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control (x4)
If it can be lost then it can be won
If it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time (x4)
All you need is
We promised the world we'd tame it,
What were we hoping for? (x2)
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill
A sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first (x4)
You said you were gonna conquer new frontiers
Go stick your bloody neck in the jaws of the beast
We promised the world we'd tame it,
What were we hoping for?
We promised the world we'd tame it
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe out, breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe out, breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe out, breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
So here we are reinventing the wheel
I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe
It's a language I can't understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you
We will not be the last. (x7)

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
super good song. how can no one comment on it? much better than bloc party's version.. well in it's own way i suppose. more smooth and enjoyable.. addictive
really good version of this song featured in the o.c
ya, addictive is a very good word for it. but i would not say 'better' 'cos we have to remember that without the orginal one it would not be this one. i like very much experiments with tempo in 'wha wha what wha what were we hoping for'. and this sometimes-funky beat.
I think Bloc Party said in a live gig that it's about Leeds United. If so it seems as relevant now as when it was written!!!
I don't think this version is better than Bloc Party's but it's different. And I like this version too. Nice lyrics.
this song is so beautiful...if it can be broke than it can be fixed/ if it can be fused the it can be split/ it's all under control...
Not as good as your all saying, But it is okay. I prefer the Bloc Party version
Leeds United? Really? That's funny when you think of the words in relation to a football club.
I think this song is about modern man and his relationship to the environment. Thinking no matter what we do to the sea, the earth, and the air, we can fix it. Believing we can control nuclear fusion. It seems to be saying that we are ambitious creatures and it is in our nature to want to conquer nature, but we are playing with the devil (so to speak). Probably should post this under Bloc Party, but I listen to the Tunng version more often.
