Used to steal real estate signs
Cookie keep them in her basement
Used to stay up all night
Chemistry set a replacement
Ya, I've seen that door
And I've walked through it both ways before

I live just around here
I sleep just around here
And I wake up every day
Where my feet hit the floor in exactly the same place

Tell me will I love?
And tell me will it be enough?
Or tell me will I stay
With my feet in exactly the same place?

Hold me like you'd never let me go
Bear it like you'd never let it show
Shine a light and so never let me go

Well I grew up just around here
And I took a few just around here
And I'd wake up every day
With poison in my head behind exactly the same face

Tell me will I dream?
And tell me will it be serene?
Or tell me will I stay
With my feet in exactly the same place?

Hold me like you'd never let me go
Bear it like you'd never let it show
Shine a light and so never let me go
Never let me go

    The brilliance of this man with his lyrics is pretty much only superseded by his ability to both open and close an album. The lyrics - they are what they are. We'll never really know what he was thinking about while writing / singing - but we don't need to. He's telling a story, and that story is about how he makes you feel. I don't interpret this song as literally as about a homeless person... But likewise, I feel, I hear, I live his state of mind every time I hear this song.

    But that ending. This man knows how to put punctuation at the end of an album. "House of Smoke and Mirrors" at the end of Avalanche was a "…"; to be honest, I thought that was going to prove to be his last album. I thought he was going to quit, or Quit. But "Empty's Theme Park" ends with a definitive "."

    Whatever this was, whatever he felt, whatever part of his life this song was about...

    ... he left it behind on that last note.

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/

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.
