So you want to be famous?
I'll tell you something,
You've got to get away
I need some time in the sunshine somewhere
You need the sun and the sea
And your golden hair

You can dance
You can dance all night, yeah
And I'll be leaving
As soon as the sun comes up
Are you gonna come with me someday?
I'm going, I'm going

You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
Tell me you wanna be famous someday
I see the look in your eye
You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
On and on, we keep on dreaming
In the end, you won't forget my name
You won't forget my name

Caught up in all of the action
We're in the middle of streets
Of painted gold
Have you seen the reaction lately
Of all the people we left
Behind back home?

You can dance
You can dance all night, yeah
But I'll be leaving
As soon as the sun comes up
Are you gonna come with me someday?
I'm going, I'm going

You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
Tell me you wanna be famous someday
I see the look in your eye
You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
On and on, we keep on dreaming
In the end, you won't forget my name

You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
Tell me you wanna be famous someday
I see the look in your eye
You know we're going to burn out this way
But we'll be lighting the sky
On and on, we're always dreaming
But inn the end you won't forget my name

We're always dreaming
But inn the end you won't forget my name
You won't forget my name
You won't forget my name...

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Plastic Bag
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.
