Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Check

If I had all the money in the world
I still couldn't buy me a brand new girl (Alright love?),
Too much clubbing, not enough loving
Too much shopping, too busy chasing this thriller
Who's now took a lost on your winner
Sitting there singing this song like
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone like

Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
Didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
I didn't know how much I missed you
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh-oh

Let me go, Yeah

And look still I'm here
She left me with no idea
I just don't get it, it's kinda weird
How you took off quicker than my career. it's kinda left
It took a wrong man to admit he's wrong
Still can't do it, I just put it in a song
So don't correct me, I know that I'm wrong
(I just need love)
I'm too stuck in my ways,
And I know this ain't helping me change
And I'm sitting here singing this song like
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone like

Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
Didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
I didn't know how much I missed you
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh-oh (Whooa)

Let me go, Yeah

I'm too stressed and I'm trying not to flip
I close my eyes and you're beside my lips
So I try not to blink for one split sec
Cus she bought in, and got my piece wrecked
Since you left, nothing ain't right
Two different ways, we have to part sides
It's a long sighting, y'know, It ain't the same when you went missing
Didn't know how much I missed you until you were gone, gone, gone

Until you were gone, gone, gone
Until you were gone, gone, gone
Until you were gone, gone, gone

I didn't know how much I missed you
(Didn't know how much I would miss you
I messed up the perfect picture)

Damn, I wish I would've seen it coming
Cause I blink for a second and you caught me slipping, Oh, Oh, Oh
Now we're done before we even started
I didn't know how much I missed you

Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone
Until You Were Gone, gone, gone

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
