I know how it feels when I need a disaster scenario I cannot have
My magic hand smacks me in the forehead and reminds me I can be so bad
Would you believe me if I said it was easy to file away my better half?
Lock me in a closet with my mittens on and watch me while I blow my stack

Now come unlock me you skinny-limbed blue-black stick

Nobody knows that I talk to my fingers
They tell me what I should not do
When I have no past I stand on my hands and wait for the pain to come
I guess I'll have to give my finger puppets up
Tell me if you want one

Mr. Fingers, I argue and look like a fool
Get back in my pocket
You're sketching my cool
You make me so nasty
Here comes the girl
She's not permitted to see my world
To see my world

Excuse me, missus
I confess I'm loving your architecture
Is that why your brother had me arrested?
If you see me out on the streets
You better get inside
Get inside

Never ever tell them your darkest secret
And they won't ask you to shut up

Mr. Fingers, I argue and look like a fool
Get back in my pocket
You're sketching my cool
You make me so nasty
Here comes the girl
She's not permitted to see my world
To see my world

Excuse me, missus
I confess I'm loving your architecture
Is that why your brother had me arrested?
If you see my puppets and me
You better get inside
Get inside

My fingers are numb from talking too much

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
