I just stayed there
And I was born at the scene of a crime
Every witness, well he was deaf and dumb
And blind

Every highlight leads the high life, yeah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Every moment was a moment, ah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Well, how'd I get here?
You know I followed the billboard sign
Every product, well it follows me down the line

Every daydream, every dead one, too
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Every wish that you could wish for came true
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba

Every daydream, every dead one, too

Every wish that you could wish for came true

Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake up
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem

Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake up
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem

Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake up
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem

Hey, c'mon, man, everybody wake up
Wake up, wake up
We are only a part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem

    Nah man, take away the "Doo-we oo-wee a baba" and you lose all the essence of what makes Dr. Dog who they are. I never heard the beatles sing Doo-we oo-wee a baba anyways? I don't really see what you your trying to say.

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
