Search Party

So Many Dynamos

There will be no search party for us
No black ribbons tied on antennas
No one's going to stop traffic for us
When we're gone, we're gone
You know it's simple as that

The non-believers are shaking in their shoes
Making empty promises and fucking every thing that moves
Several widows are begging for their lives
Like it's 1999 in 1985
Well ha-ha-ha-hallelujah, we will, we will, we will get what we deserve
Hip-hip-hooray, hip-hip-replacement,
We're dancing on the rooftops,
We're hiding in the basements

I guess I always knew I wouldn't die before you
I guess I always knew I wouldn't die before you
I can't believe this is happening to me
I didn't think I'd be the last one standing now
I can't believe this is happening actually
I didn't think I'd be the last one standing now
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God now
I didn't think I'd be the last one standing now
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God now
I didn't think I'd be the last one standing now

Make all the non-believers say [Repeat: x4]

Its over, its over, I've had it and I'm done
Everybody get your flashlight
Everybody get your gun
Gone tomorrow, if we still exist
We'll be singing with the frogs
We'll be dancing with the locusts

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God now
The sky is falling and I hate to say I told you so
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God now
The world was gone for nothin'
And now we're standing for an encore

There will be no search party for us

    There's a lot wrong with the lyrics on here. I'm pretty sure it goes:

    "No black ribbons tied off into knots" ?

    "I didn't think I'd be the last one standing now" ?

    "Come tomorrow, if we still exist, We will be singing with the frogs We'll be dancing with the locusts"

    Great song.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

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.
