Once there was a girlie,
She was kinda surly,
Stuck a needle in her eye.
A hundred deaths
On her beige breasts
And poor baby can't cry.
She loved her junky boyfriend,
Tried to help his heart mend,
Asshole with an appetite.
Living under
An elevator shaft
Can be cold at night.
Whenever they were hungry
She would get the money,
Girlie couldn't take a stand,
Till she said,
I let you believe you could rule over me
So you'd feel like big strong man
Touched by any feeler
Any stinking dealer,
She knew that she would surely die,
So she said,
If I'm gonna die with a needle in my eye,
I'm gonna do it by my own hand."
And he heard it through the walls
He heard it through the walls
He heard it through the walls...
She worked like a doctor,
Very determined,
Not afraid of getting pricked
By some lame spike,
Never wondering why.
Well she left him in the dust
And got even more fucked up
And she did it all by herself.
But even when she got her ass
Off of the streets
He would visit her in her dreams.
The last time she saw her darlin'
Was at the funeral parlour,
He was fresh off of the prison shelf.
Yeah he died with a needle in his eye,
But she was clean clean clean.
Yeah, she was clean clean clean.
And he heard it through the walls
He heard it through the walls
He heard it through the walls...
Once there was a girlie,
She was kinda surly,
Stuck a needle in her eye

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.

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.
