This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I, I long, to be beside of you,
I was wrong, to tell you what I knew
I know I'm a victim of my pride,
I belong, to all that I've been through
I drove for miles in a city trance
I came to ask for a second chance
But I won't dance, no I won't dance
I came for miles on a broken wheel
I came to see whether love can heal
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel
Cause I can't bend, can't hold, can't lend,
Can't fold, can't lose, won't cry, can't choose, cause I know why I
I, I want, to always be with you
What's wrong, to tell you what I knew
Cause I know, I know I'm a slave to lonely pride
I belong to all that I've been through
I drove for miles in a city trance
I came to ask for a second chance
But I won't dance, no I won't dance
I came for miles on a broken wheel
I came to see whether love can heal
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel
Cause I get close, and get scared, and this grows in my head
Won't you give me something, something to hold
Won't you give me something, something to hold
Something to
I was wrong, to tell you what I knew
I know I'm a victim of my pride,
I belong, to all that I've been through
I drove for miles in a city trance
I came to ask for a second chance
But I won't dance, no I won't dance
I came for miles on a broken wheel
I came to see whether love can heal
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel
Cause I can't bend, can't hold, can't lend,
Can't fold, can't lose, won't cry, can't choose, cause I know why I
I, I want, to always be with you
What's wrong, to tell you what I knew
Cause I know, I know I'm a slave to lonely pride
I belong to all that I've been through
I drove for miles in a city trance
I came to ask for a second chance
But I won't dance, no I won't dance
I came for miles on a broken wheel
I came to see whether love can heal
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel
Cause I get close, and get scared, and this grows in my head
Won't you give me something, something to hold
Won't you give me something, something to hold
Something to

@[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
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Could be wrong but I interpret it as telling someone you're gay and not being accepted (technically it could be about any secret, though).
"I, I long, to be beside of you, I was wrong, to tell you what was true 'Cause I'm now a victim of my pride, I belong, to all that I've been through."
Regretting coming out or spilling your secret. Bargaining with the person, like saying "Forget I said that. Can't I take it back?" "I'm a victim of my pride" is self-explanatory, and what really drew me to this meaning.
"I drove for miles in a city trance I came to ask for a second chance But I won't dance, no I won't dance."
Maybe the person had a falling out with whoever she revealed herself to. Now she's going back to see them and maybe fix things.
"I came for miles on a broken wheel I came to see whether love can heal But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel."
She wants to patch things up with this person, but she won't beg for forgiveness.
"'Cause I can't bend, can't hold, can't lend, can't fold, can't lose, won't cry, can't choose, 'cause I know why I..."
She didn't choose this, it's not her fault, so she's not gonna feel sorry.
"I, I want, to always be with you What's wrong, to tell you what I knew 'Cause I, know I'm a slave to lonely pride I belong to all that I've been through."
She wants to put aside their differences and be friends (or family) again. "I want to always be with you" = she can't live without them.
"'Cause I get close, and get scared, and this grows in my head Won't you give me something, something to hold?"
She doesn't want to fight anymore. She just wants someone to be there for her, especially since she needs it now more than ever. More love less hate :D
Just my opinion. A great dance song either way ;)
I really dig your interpretation. ;) It is such a beautiful badass song.
