Sold! To the Nice Rich Man

The Welcome Wagon

Rich man came to our town and
Wandered around, wandered around
Rich man came to change our minds
Change our plans take our things
Take our nights tonight we fight

Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world

Get your guns let's shoot him down
Let's axe his plans but we miss the mark
There goes the ark here comes the dark

Rich man spoke, Thunderclap like a waterfall
As those waters fall on those know-it-alls
And their mighty causes

Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world

Rich man came to pay the price
He paid it all he paid the now
He paid the was he paid it in full
He paid it for fools
Who wandered and drooled and full of lice
He's twice as nice

Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world
Rich man bought our wandering world
Our wonderful world our wondering world

    This is a truly evil song.

    It basically urges us to see be humble before the rich and powerful, to worship them. It equates wealth and power with goodness, as primitives so often do.

    It promotes the idea of the worthlessness of ordinary people in comparison to the rich and powerful.

    How sad and how very, very false.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
