I need the Harley wind
Blowing in my hair
Five thousand miles I've roamed
Now I'm gettin' there
This is my destiny
The way that I choose
Don't need no one to talk about
Love and blues

Round, 'round
Up and down
Move so fast
Never touch the ground
High, high
Touch the sky
Don't come down
Don't make me try
Lost in space
Or any other place
Putting my dreams
On the moving place
Gypsy
Electric gypsy
Round I'll go

Yeah

I remember way back when
I was just like you
Yeah I gave myself to live
But I didn't have a clue
I got it suddenly
Cromium steel
Seven hundred and fifty reasons
Why I can't stand still

Oh no
Here I go
Gotta keep moving
Gotta let go
Another turn
Another girl
Can't stand still
'Till I've seen the world
And I've seen the world
When I cry
Get in my spaceship
Watch me fly
Gypsy
Electric gypsy
Round I'll go

Yeah
Ooh
Ahh!

Don't neeed no one to tell me
To settle down
Life in the fast lane suits me
To the ground
This is my destiny
The way that I choose
Don't need no one to talk about
Love and blues

Round, round
Up and down
Move so fast
Never touch the ground
High, high
Touch the sky
Don't come down
Don't make me try
Lost in space
Or any other place
Putting my dreams
On the moving place
Gypsy
Electric gypsy

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."

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/
