I woke up this mornin', just another day
Don't ask me for very much, gave it all away
No use to pretend, the movie has to end
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland

I got high last night at Danceland
For the last time before he said good bye
I could fly last night at Danceland
Kept on laughin' just so I wouldn't cry

Anyway, he bought blue orchids for my hair
I felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got by last night at Danceland
Now I'm down to love songs and loneliness

Anyway, he bought blue orchids for my hair
I felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got a high at Danceland, I could fly last night at Danceland
I said goodbye last night at Danceland
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland, yeah

I got high last night at Danceland
For the last time before he said good bye
I could fly last night at Danceland
But I kept right on laughin', just so that I wouldn't cry

Anyway, you bought blue orchids for my hair
Felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got a high, I could fly, I said goodbye, ooh, I could fly
I said goodbye at Danceland, yeah
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland, yeah

This is what I did at Danceland
Got a little high, got a little high at Danceland
Kept on laughin', kept on laughin' at Danceland
I thought I was flyin', I thought I was flyin' at Danceland

Kept on dancin', I kept on dancin' at Danceland
I thought I was flyin', I thought I was flyin' at Danceland
Kept on laughin', kept on dancin' at Danceland

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
