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.
I feel better now I've seen you
But deep inside my bones feel like timber
And I, I am shaking from the tension
And I will shudder at the mention
Hate to think
What would happen if I started to drink like you
Maybe I will loosen up
Pour me another gin
Guzzle down, my neck will burn as we kiss
And I'm sick in your mouth
I know you want more
Lick my open wounds and add some ice
And choke on my sick vice
Oh girl, the lights are on
Trapped in bed
As the poison slowly creeps in and stops me dead
Should have known better than to cave
Into such fantasies
Guzzle down, my neck will burn as we kiss
And I'm sick in your mouth
I know you want more
Lick my open wounds and add some ice
And choke on my sick vice
Oh girl, the lights are on
I feel better now, I've seen you
But deep inside my bones, feel like timber
And I, I am shaking from the tension
And I will shudder at the mention
But deep inside my bones feel like timber
And I, I am shaking from the tension
And I will shudder at the mention
Hate to think
What would happen if I started to drink like you
Maybe I will loosen up
Pour me another gin
Guzzle down, my neck will burn as we kiss
And I'm sick in your mouth
I know you want more
Lick my open wounds and add some ice
And choke on my sick vice
Oh girl, the lights are on
Trapped in bed
As the poison slowly creeps in and stops me dead
Should have known better than to cave
Into such fantasies
Guzzle down, my neck will burn as we kiss
And I'm sick in your mouth
I know you want more
Lick my open wounds and add some ice
And choke on my sick vice
Oh girl, the lights are on
I feel better now, I've seen you
But deep inside my bones, feel like timber
And I, I am shaking from the tension
And I will shudder at the mention

Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
heh, yeah. easy listening, i must say it isn't hynes' best, but it's very nice. &the video is odd to say the least, aha.
