In the thick of it all, I stand
A torch to the sun
On another world
Where life hasn't even begun
It's clear
That love runs a line through there

Then a train goes out that way
Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Over and over

And you look at it all
Caught up in the rhythm of days
Young and slow
Older now
The faster they fall on you,
Fall on you, fall on you
But the sensitive mind
If open can catch just a
Glimpse of the light

Then a train goes out that way
Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Over and over

They're running everything, to
Keep us all alive
We're riding highways, way
Beyond the skies
One day I'm stepping on board the train
To ride away

Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Dropping off passengers
Over and over
Picking up passengers
Picking up passengers
Picking up passengers
Over and over

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.

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.
