adies and gentlemen
Show your appreciation for Jonny Sniper!

(Okay, Jonny, let's go!)

Rise, taste the air
Lock and load, pull the trigger
Climb to new heights
And tell me, tell me what you hear

A whisper from the wind
And I can't help but listen
It warns us of disaster
And I can't help but wonder
Can anyone hear the same distress call?

So this is a quest to save the world
And he'll always be here for another
Another day, another chance to rescue

(Okay, Jonny, lock and load)
This is all I need to feel alive
(Remember now, aim small, miss small)

The crashing of white waves
And I can't help but listen, oh
The screaming of the Earth
And I can't help but

So this is a quest to save the world
And he'll always be here for another
Another day, another chance to rescue

And this is all I need to feel alive, oh yeah
("Hey Jonny!") This is all I need to feel alive
"Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!"

So this is a quest to save the world
And he'll always be here for another
Another day, another chance to rescue

So this is a quest to save the world
And he'll always be here for another
Another day, another chance to rescue

This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive

This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive
This is all I need to feel alive

    Amazing song. For once I actually like the re-made version better than the original one. Think it's just about wanting to be someone or have someone around who saves the world from all the bad things that are going on. Like a superhero.

    ''The Screaming of the Earth, and i cant help but...''

    ''So this is a quest to save the world, And He'll always be here for another, Another day, Another chance to rescue,''

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
