This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Pop, I know you had no choice
Had to watch for yourself
Taught me not to raise my voice
Told me not to raise no hell
But you raise the speed of my heart
You raise the heat in my blood
You could raise your fist up to me
But you couldn't raise your son
You wasn't no rolling stone
A stone is something you can hold
Real quick I had to get real grown
Keep me an' mama outta the cold
Pop, I never knew ya, I hope you didn't die alone
And at the end of the day
I Hope you find your way back home
Grandpa Charlie was a giant man
Had a lion's heart
Used to pick me up in his hands
Used to watch me play ball in the park
Tellin' jokes/ kept our Christmas warm
Jet-black coffee in his cup
He never talked about the war
He turned his hearing aid off
Fifty years he made my Grandma his wife
That night he left
I know he loved us all of his life
Right up to his last breath
Charlie we were at your bedside
You did not die alone
And at the end of the day, I
I hope you find your way back home
Got some incense smoking
Got a candle burning low
Kitchen-wall clock is broken
What day it is I don't even know
I travel from city to city
What is it that I'm trying to find?
I know I can't take nothing with me
Leave it all behind
I know I done people wrong
I hope that they're alright
Gotta keep traveling on
Travel on into the night
Mama I'ma come back to you
You will not die alone
And at the end of the day
I hope I find my way back home
Had to watch for yourself
Taught me not to raise my voice
Told me not to raise no hell
But you raise the speed of my heart
You raise the heat in my blood
You could raise your fist up to me
But you couldn't raise your son
You wasn't no rolling stone
A stone is something you can hold
Real quick I had to get real grown
Keep me an' mama outta the cold
Pop, I never knew ya, I hope you didn't die alone
And at the end of the day
I Hope you find your way back home
Grandpa Charlie was a giant man
Had a lion's heart
Used to pick me up in his hands
Used to watch me play ball in the park
Tellin' jokes/ kept our Christmas warm
Jet-black coffee in his cup
He never talked about the war
He turned his hearing aid off
Fifty years he made my Grandma his wife
That night he left
I know he loved us all of his life
Right up to his last breath
Charlie we were at your bedside
You did not die alone
And at the end of the day, I
I hope you find your way back home
Got some incense smoking
Got a candle burning low
Kitchen-wall clock is broken
What day it is I don't even know
I travel from city to city
What is it that I'm trying to find?
I know I can't take nothing with me
Leave it all behind
I know I done people wrong
I hope that they're alright
Gotta keep traveling on
Travel on into the night
Mama I'ma come back to you
You will not die alone
And at the end of the day
I hope I find my way back home

Holiday

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
