I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.
Hey!

Like an angel who’d been dancing with some devils.
I'm a bad girl with a hope for better day.
My laughter is spiced with mischief.
I won’t toss salt, kiss it up, or pray.
When you offer pink or blue I’ll take the blackest.
When you offer only two I’ll offer three.
When you point me in a direction I’ll run backwards.
And at the border of utopia I’ll toast to anarchy!

‘Cause fire and rock I'm coming home to you.
Well, I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew.
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through.
Fire and rock I'm coming home to you.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.
Hey!

So you’re saying Satan’s army is rising up soon.
While if it is I'm secretary of no state.
Got riches, rocks, and bottles in my tool pouch.
My desire is societies jail bait.

‘Cause there’s tons of guys moping about the workday.
Dimes by the dozens.
Their song weighs a thousand pounds.
But there’s nothing like a lady with a buzz saw.
I just might build your house but I just might tear it down.

‘Cause fire and rock I'm coming home to you.
Well, I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew.
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through.
Fire and rock I'm coming home to you.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.

Yeah, barkeeper we’ll surely have another.
To the witches, to the goblins, and the trolls.
I’ll be coming to recruit your rebel children.
There ain’t no use in locking doors,
There’s one of me in every hole.

With mud on my boots,
and blood on my jeans.
I’ll take those pretty dresses,
Tear ‘em at the seams.
Roll me through the gate of hell.
Ah please.
And I’ll be back in your daughter’s dreams.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell.
See you in hell boys.
Haha!

    This song is so amazing. the first verse blows my mind. It shows Peterson's ability to be an amazing songwriter, "I'm a bad girl with a hope for better days, my laughter is spiced with mischief" and is amzing ability as a revolutionary, "On the boarder of utopia i'll toast to anarchy!"

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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.

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.
