It was the last night of the 20th Century
And the party was going strong
Champagne, beer wine and whisky
Everyone was totally gone

2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in
Said his name was Charlie and somebody'd sent for him

Then everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

I'd never seen such a queue for the bathroom
Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar
And that line of Californian denial
Didn't stretch even halfway as far

I never had so many people boring me to death
Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed?

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Just wanna die

If you're staring in the face of temptation
But it don't blow your skirt up high
You're naive to the situation
'Til your friends get that look in their eyes

'Cause when they ask the question
Why I never had a try,
I said
"Take a look around the room, you'll see the reason why!"

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
No I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

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.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way.
