Polly put the kettle on
I met a man
And asked of them
He told me that
The pound was strong
I knew that bridge was falling
So jimmy put the gas masks on
And swam and swam
Up to the dam
And everyone came along
Don't think we can talk
____________ making war
Don't think we can risk it
Another heavy biscuit __________
Can i beat the count of ten
I'm lying just to stay alive
Dying in my _________ again
Taken to a dive
Trying to survive
When's it going to take you
And how's it gonna make you feel
You can't even spell it
So how you gonna tell
If it's real?
A bomb blew up my shelter
I never even felt a thing
I brushed away the dust and
Gave ole jimmy custer a ring
Don't think we can talk _______
____________ making war
Don't think we can risk it
Another heavy biscuit __________
Can i beat the count of ten
I'm lying just to stay alive
Dying in my _________ again
Taken to a dive
Trying to survive
I knew that bridge was falling
So jimmy put the gas masks on
And swam and swam
Up to the dam
And everyone came along

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
