On a cold day, nothing's gonna stop us
On a cold day, you can see forever
On a cold day, nothing's gonna stop us
On a cold day, you can run through metal

In a graveyard, we'll be making babies
In a graveyard, it's raining up in heaven
Silent cold now, nothing's gonna stop us
Silent cold now, silent, silent cold
A man can be happy with the weather
As long as it doesn't snow
To run and hide
Wintertime is a razor blade the devil made
It's the price we pay for the summertime

    On a cold day, nothing's gunna stop us On a cold day, you can see forever On a cold day, nothings gunna stop us On a cold day, you can run through metal

    In a graveyard, we'll be making babies In a graveyard, it's raining up in heaven

    Solid gold now , nothing's gunna stop us Solid gold now, it's solid solid gold

    A man can be happy with the weather As long as it doesn't snow

    Snow will fallow me as soon as there's nowhere warm, to run and hide.

    Wintertime is a ball and chain of the old and grey, it's the price we pay for the summertime.

    In a graveyard, we'll be making babies In a graveyard, it's raining up in heaven

    Solid gold now, nothing's gunna stop us Solid gold now, it's solid solid gold

    A man can be happy with the weather As long as it doesn't snow

    Snow will fallow me as soon as there's nowhere warm, to run and hide.

    Wintertime is a ball and chain of the old and grey, it's the price we pay for the summertime.

    lyrics for the studio version, not the live ones.

    Hodocotay??? lol what does that mean? def "on a cold day" tho that should be a new word.

    and there are two versions ive heard, one recorded and one live.

    the record says wintertime is a ball and chain of the old and grey its the price we pay for the summertime

    the live version says wintertime is a razorblade that the devil made its the price we pay for the summertime

    other than that i cant make it out, too distorted. def amazing song tho.

    It sounds like "silent cold" instead of "solid gold"

    I kind of really wanted this song to say “On the cocaine nothing’s gonna stop us”, instead of ‘hodocotay’? I thought wintertime was alluding to the drug, and how “there is a price to pay”. So, what Leakeg and recording DR said about razor and ball may not be way off…

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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
