Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Go back to the motherland
Have your mama hold your hand
If you eat your eggs with runny beans
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Judgin? your behavior
And your junkie routine
It's time for you to get clean
And stop creatin? a scene

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

There's a recall on all employees
Who behavin? all out of sorts
Who can't hold their liquor
Quicker, ya'll get off my turf

I'll show you who got the curve
Think I'm being territorial?
I'ma get patriotic on ya ass
Stars and stripes actin? all sassy and crass

Class is in session
Please stand for the pledge
All you pretty party girl
Step away from the ledge

Have a seat, so I can begin to teach
Today we're gonna learn
About the word moderation
Liberty and justice
And somethin? like one nation

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Go back to the motherland
Have your mama hold you hand
If you eat your eggs with runny beans
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Judgin? your behavior
And your junkie routine
It's time for you to get clean
And stop creatin? a scene

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Those who know me, know I ain't
No straight lace sober freak
But when it comes time to get the job done
I make sure I'm at least able to speak

Try to give a damn about presentation
Try to make it look like it's not a vacation
People paid to see a show
They didn't just make a kind donation

When you're singin? that song
For the one millionth time
And you're too gone to see
That you no longer shine

You start wishin? for another way
To make your dime
You wanna make a buck in America?
Grab an application and get in line

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Go back to the motherland
Have your mama hold your hand
If you eat your eggs with runny beans
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Judgin? your behavior
And your junkie routine
It's time for you to get clean
And stop creatin? a scene

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin?

?Cause you know you'll be missin?
That same ol? tune
Two weeks what you look like
Every afternoon

Then it comes you'll be like
Cha ching, cha ching
But minimum wage after taxes is like
You must be fuckin? kiddin?

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Go back to the motherland
Have your mama hold your hand
If you eat your eggs with runny beans
Save all that cryin? for the queen

Judgin? your behavior
And your junkie routine
It's time for you to get clean
And stop creatin? a scene

Girl, you ain't got shit on me
Ain't got shit on NYC
Got nothin? on this city
Save all that cryin? for the queen

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."

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.
