I am a part of your soul, boy
And when you say you're gone
I have to reach my arms outstretched to you
Because I know we're through

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

Finally it all makes sense
I could keep this all from you
And I could make a statement based on truth
But then it all comes tumbling down
Down, down, down

So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
So go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
And leave me on my own

I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)
I am holding you (I am holding you)

Go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, and go away
And leave me on my own
Won't you go away, go away
And leave me on my own
Go away, go away
Leave me on my own

Honey, leave me on my own
Leave me on my own
Leave me on my own

    Hmm... this is tough... but... I THINK... maybe... just maybe... this song could be about... toothpaste? No... too typical... uhm... bank robberies? No, no, that would be too complex... ok well now I'm just gonna wing it with a random guess... maybe about... trying to be left alone? OHH!! A STALKER!! No, no, that makes no sense what so ever... maybe about wanting to be left alone by a certain person but afraid of letting go of them... but just can't stand it, fight the feeling, they gotta go? Maybe... but I'm still leaning towards the toothpaste meaning...

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

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.
