A pathological government told be of another Vietnam and said
"If you lose sight while you're searching, we'll find you a target and rise
our unity"
Then the witch-hunt starts to come within
But not for a while
Wealth or the "innocent"
You're either with us or against us
You better understand
We're not slipping
Just looking for the answers
There's nothing we don't know about you
Finance, structure, religion
Indoctrination won't be broken down
Death tolls don't compromise position
What we bury deep will rest alone
Now it seems we're cut from the living
On the outside or the darkest skids of town
And the neighbors talk and hiss at long-dyed hair
Metal tapes
The underground
Anti-this finds fault with anti-that
And our ghetto wars
Tear each other apart
The rent checks finds the bottles
A toast to us hiding here's to us being exposed

We're not slipping
Just looking for the answers
There's nothing we don't know about you
Finance, structure, religion
Indoctrination won't be broken down
Death tolls don't compromise position
What we bury deep will rest alone
In the shopping malls that are built on graveyards
In the funding for this warlord government
These roots of evil turning up again

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/
