Out of all the safe roads promised
We return to the one with no self control
It's a fuel to the fire, that should never burn
While everything around us is so dry
Oh up in smoke we go
(Up in smoke we go)
Oh up in smoke we go
(Up in smoke we go)
Oh up in smoke...

I have no time girl
To play this game with you
I have a queen, why would I settle for a fucking maid?
Don't bring me back to this game

Before you get any ideas, clean yourself off
Oh...
(you get burned)
How many others will it take to reach your goal?
You're never complete
But still you continue to spread it time after time

I have no time girl
To play this game with you
I have a queen, why would I settle for a fucking maid?
Don't bring me back to this game

Go preach your sorrows girl, on someone else
My bet is: its going to end with heartache
Spread your legs one time
Spread your legs two times
We both know this is pathetic

I have no time girl
To play this game with you
I have a queen, why would I settle for a fucking maid?
Don't bring me back to this game

I have a queen, why would I settle for a fucking maid?
Why would I settle for a fucking maid?
Don't bring me back to this game
This game...
To this game...
To this game...

(If you play with fire, you'll get burned)
(If you play with fire, you'll get burned)

    It's about a girl he went to high school with. Temptation from her had screwed up past relationships and he doesn't want to play her games anymore.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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

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.
