Is this a real guy? Is he just fantasy?
'Cause of his grand size, no one's safe from fatality
Open your eyes, look up at Goliath, and see:
[Goliath]
I’m dressed for war, boys, I need no infantry
Because I'll meet the one you propose
Israelites, pick my foe
Anyway, I'll win, so it doesn’t really matter to me
To me

[David]
Mama, there's still no man who can come against this threat
You might figure now we're dead
Mama, Goliath is testing us
And know he's gonna know we're all afraid
Mama, ooh ooh ooh, he's a mean and crazy guy
He'll come right back again this time tomorrow
Daring us, scaring us cause he wants to meet in battle

Hooray! My time has come
Been a shepherd all my life but I'm taking on the giant
Goodbye everybody, but not for long
God will lead me all the while I face this brute
Come on! Ooh ooh ooh!
(David you’re a wimp though)
I'm not gonna die
The One who wins my battles is Lord of all

[Goliath]
I see a little silly shepherd not a man
What are you trying to prove?
You’ll be chewed up and mangled!
Send a boy to fight me?
Very, very tiny flea!

[David]
Gol-la-liath! Gol-la-liath! Gonna die you big galoot!
I'll kick your butt!
I trust the Lord but nobody trusts me
[Crowd]
He trusts the Lord, but suffers from insanity
Daring to fight 'gainst this monstrosity
[David]
Evil comes, evil goes
You will get deposed
[Goliath]
I will not, no! I will not get deposed
[David]
Yes, you will (Repeat)
Your head will roll
Oh! Oh! Oh!
[Goliath]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Come-to-me-a! Come-to-me-a!
Let the eagles pick your bones
Beelzebub and his devils gonna fight for me, for me, for me

[David]
So you think you can scorn me and spit at my tribe?
So you think you’re above me just based on your size?
Oh, baby you ain't just dueling David
You're gonna get it now
Cause God'll win my battle here

[Crowd]
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

[David]
Guys I’m really flattered
Yet it wasn’t me
God wins every battle
God wins every battle for me

(David will be king soon)

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.

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/
