They heard the virgins weeping,
Down to town square we go!
There they'll be cleansed by fire!
I know your yearning to burn the virgin!
Let's bring the morales back to,
Back to the town we know.
Nothing is ever sacred,
My final warning, to you I will sing.
I've got the time to lie,
I've lost my faith in you!
These city lights show me what's true!
And it's time for you and I to die!
The city's eating us alive!

[Chorus]
And we're running from the start,
We the blackest ice.
Running from what we can change.
Abandon the empire,
You sound the bell,
Bring on hellfire, you might as well.
I'll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me!


Whores stole the morales laughing,
Into the ground they'll go.
And I shall be the cleasing,
Taste her sickness.
Yeah I get this!
And I want you purest virgins.
You know they need me too!
Cause it's been hard to resist,
The father of lies will die tonight!
And it's time for you and I to die!
The city's eating us alive!
This shit house is going up in flames,
And I'll never be the same!

[Chorus]

And when we sleep,
We're all so weak!
Because we can't shake the sadness that seeps!
Put on your mask.
We'll fake it past!
But you'll never wash my heart away!

[Chorus]

And we're running, running from what we can change!
And we're running!

    I agree! I don't know why there aren't any more comments. I actually found this band accidentally but I'm glad I did.

    I wish I knew what this song meant!

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/

Ed Sheeran
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.
