History repeats
It keeps you on your feet
The faster it goes
It keeps you on your toes

It's told, she lings
In keeping all these thing
Will just wear you down
Until you're underground

Nothing left to take it off on
Nothing left to take it off on

Ha!

It's for show, I know
The farther that you go
It's feeling like work
Heart beating on your shirt

Nothing left to take it out on
Nothing left to take it out on

Come and come put your weight on me
Come and come put your weight on me (Oh lordy)
Come and come put your weight on me
Come and come put your weight on me

Oh lordy, you will see
Come clean off on me
And maybe, someday
I will come take your breath away

The doctor will call
It won't matter at all
How good you've been
Cause I can make you clean

Nothing left to take it out on
Nothing left to take it out on

Huh!

Come and come put your weight on me
Come and come put your weight on me (Oh lordy)
Come and come put your weight on me
Come and come put your weight on me

Oh lordy, you will see
Come clean off on me
And maybe, someday
I will come take your breath away

HA!

Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell my why
No!

Doing to me, doing to me
Doing to me, doing to me
Oh lordy, doing to me
I, I

Oh

It's alright, oh it's alright
Tell me why
It's alright, oh it's alright
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why

Oh

Oh lordy, you will see
Come clean off on me
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell my why oh)
And maybe, someday
I will come take your breath away

I will come take your breath away

Oh lala la la la la la la
Oh lala la la la la la la
Oh lala la la la la la la

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
