They poison our sweet mother earth
Destroy our sacred bodies
To fill our mouths with junk and
They call this knowledge
But knowing nothing
Means knowing far, far too much
They let our children
Starve in the name of peace
They march to the beat of
A killing machine

Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted

Oh
They'll pour the salt from your soul
Oh
They'll pour the salt from your soul

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Scars and bars and 51 stars
In faith and milk and...
I'm drinking filth and disease
Oh pretty please, I'm begging freedom
There's lives to be blinded,
Serviced and kinded
Before we've paid
And then we'll pay some more
Do you know the score?
Cause I'm so fucking bored!

Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted

Oh
They'll pour the salt from your soul
Oh
They'll pour the salt from your soul

They'll sell your wounds as evidence of your hope

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
Life is not a,
Life is not a dream
Life is not a dream

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/
