Step taken backwards
No liner notes, no lyric sheet
A dance step out of sequence
Small gathering of self-esteems
All the boys are staring at you
And they haven't got a clue
Of all you can collapse, alas, it's trashed

Keep this party moving
We're giving up on thinking clearly
All i can say is are you awake
Last night was such a blurr, so i heard
Cut out the ambiguity
Did she put out?
How was the lay?
That's al i heard as we drove away

And i do is think of you
And how you looked when you woke up
You Smiled and yelled
To hell with love

Safely secure from strangers and words
They're here to make us question
I'm through with you and second guessing
She looked so hot in denim
She looked like hell in profile pics
This party's getting out of hand
And that's exactly what we planed

And i do is think of you
And how you looked when you woke up
You Smiled and yelled
To hell with love

When it stops being fun and everyone leaves
It stops being worth it
[Repeat]

    something went on behind the backs of everyone and only the vocalist is aware but hes done with trying to understand how the girl could do this to him and the other guy too.

    he still thinks of her and how she wronged him but the good times they had.

    but once everythings bad enough it stops being worth it, her and everything else.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
