No use of talkin', no use of talkin'
You'll start in dog-walkin' no matter where
There's jazz-copation, blues modulation
Just like a Haitian you'll rip and tear
Most everybody likes the blues

Here's why I'm ravin', here's why I'm ravin'
If it's blues you are cravin', just come on down
You'll hear 'em playin', you'll hear 'em playin'
Soon you'll be sayin', "Hon, jazz me 'round"
Because your feet they can't refuse

What's that familiar strain, that true blue note refrain?
It's drivin' me insane
Can't keep still though; it's against my will
I'm on my P's and Q's; I just can't refuse

There goes that melody; it sounds so good to me
And I am up a tree
It's a shame you don't know the name
It's a brand new blues, the Royal Garden Blues

Everybody Grab somebody and start jazzing 'round

Hon, don't you hear that trombone moan?
Just listen to that saxophone
Gee, hear that clarinet and flute
Cornet jazzin' with a mute
Makes me just throw myself away
When I hear 'em play

That weepin' melancholy strain
Say, but it's soothing to the brain
Just wanna get right up and dance
Don't care--I'll take most any chance
No other blues I'd care to choose
But Royal Garden Blues

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
