Babs and Babs lay dreaming
In a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head
Babs and Babs

Babs said, whatcha thinking
She said, nothing
But I never do
Cause I leave it up to you

Babs looked through the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing

She look out on the lawn, there is a moon out tonight
(Moon out tonight)
There's a moon out tonight
Said can'tcha see

Silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the sky
And this isn't the time
To make a fool of me
Oh, no

No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of a day
Always shows up the strength of your vision
But she said nothing
Nothing
Oh, nothing
Then she turned
She finally said

So Babs said, don't you worry
I'll take good care of you
Your lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But I'll show you what to do
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Said, don't you patronize me
I'm fine the way I am
At least I know what's happening
And I know where I stand

You live alone, you die alone
When your dreams all fade away
Oh, yeah

Never compromising
Never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh
Babs and Babs

Have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay
The best of friends

Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Softly crying and sighing and dying and she say nothing
She say nothing
She say nothing
Oh, nothing
She say nothing
Oh, it's nothing
Really nothing
Babs and Babs
Babs and Babs say nothing, nothing
Ah, nothing
She say nothing, yeah
Yeah, yeah

    My Interpretation

    They are siamese twins. simple. "Arm in arm,head to hed,Bab's and Bab's". One still dreams,the others a bitch who tries controlling her."Look out on the lawn there,theres a moon out tonight(moon out tonight, 2 times)"Can't you see"? "You're silver dreams don't move me, or your talk of the sky, and this isn't the time,to make a fool of me".

    General Comment

    Thank God there are other people commenting on this song... I was afraid I had to analyze these weird lyrics by myself...

    The right brain/left brain explanation makes a lot of sense. It seemed to be about two different people, or two sides of the same person, arguing with each other, and their relationship is built entirely on their need to argue. One can't survive without the other's point of view.

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.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
