Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh
That shit makes me bat shit crazy
We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

We're going out tonight (hey)
To kick out every light (hey)
Take anything we want (hey)
Drink everything in sight (hey)
We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

We're screaming like demons and swingin' from the ceilin'
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh
We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got 'em lined up, shot down, firing back straight Crown

We're going out tonight (hey)
To kick out every light (hey)
Take anything we want (hey)
Drink everything in sight (hey)
We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Tickin' like a time bomb, drinkin' 'til the nights gone
Well, get your hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out

We're going out tonight (hey)
To kick out every light (hey)
Take anything we want (hey)
Drink everything in sight (hey)
We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh

We're going out tonight (hey)
To kick out every light (hey)
Take anything we want (hey)
Drink everything in sight (hey)
We're going 'til the world stops turnin'
While we burn it to the ground tonight

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
