Senseless

Echo and the Bunnymen

I will not wait, I will not see
The things you crave are lost on me
You took some earth. gave it a name
You plant a cross and trade the blame


Dyed in the wool and dead of mind
You took your stand. left sense behind
You stake it all on a sense of place
And lose your head to save your face


You've had your say
Close your mouth
If you know the way
Then point it out
Point it out


The ways and means as yet unclear
I only know where not to steer
I have no plan, but this I know
You're said your peace in god's main goal


You've had your say
Close your mouth
If you know the way
Then point it out
Point it out


All our voices out of tune
All our graveyards full too soon
What's the matter, let it drop
Stupid, senseless, make it stop
Stupid, senseless, make it stop


All our voices out of tune
(I will not wait)
All our graveyards full too soon
(I will not see)
All your money in the bank
(the things you crave)
How it festered, how it stank
(are lost on me)


Lose a thing you hold dear
(you took some earth)
All our freedoms disappear
(gave it a name)
What's the matter, let it drop
(you plant a cross)
Stupid, senseless, make it stop
(and trade the blame)


Stupid, senseless, make it stop
Stupid, senseless, make it stop
Stupid, senseless, make it stop

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
