Look beyond the sullen sound
Past your boxed up hollow station
We are moving forward towards your own betterment
Fire your attention away from jaws to your feet where
We'll make 'em, make 'em move forward

If you change this grand design and sweep its general outlines
You are one step closer towards your own betterment
Every time we close our eyes, rhythm falls out
Come on, come on you can't hide

Slide into the middle, don't wait for an answer
Maze of disco lights, you never knew you were a dancer
Hands are shaking, breaks are breaking
The sea will start a fire

Living in the lights, never caught you a breakthrough
The people are in lines, trying to be you
Oh, and now you are dancing

I see all the waking ones
From silhouettes to the beating drums
With the free will towards their own experiment
Underneath the covered core are countless numbers
That are rushing to the floor

Slide into the middle, don't wait for an answer
Maze of disco lights, you never knew you were a dancer
Hands are shaking, breaks are breaking
The sea will start a fire

Living in the lights never caught you a breakthrough
The people are in lines trying to be you
Oh, and now you are dancing

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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/
