Put that chicken in your yard
Out of it's misery
It's feathers torn apart, no
rooster can be more
ruthless than you more
stupid than me

I found your
angel in the crow's nest
It's a god awful mess up here
She's clawed through the floor
nobody seems to stick around
how much more can you take

Old men fire from their windows
warning shots over your head
and your dearest friends
are comin around with their
tales between their legs

But your engine is
still running, although
the gears are covered with grime

Everybody is a little hard to love
sometimes

You are my favorite because
you're a long shot

You are my enemy
because you forgot!

Generous people, they fill me with doubt
but that's something i'd rather not
talk about

And no heavy charge can make
me stay, i'm a
no good Al Joad anyway
i'll never lie in the back
of no truck

So if you want a whole lot, but
without getting caught

Babe you better go
get in line

Everybody is a little hard
to love sometimes

The first person i realized was dying
thanked everyone for the cake
Soft, and low - now
I can tell the ground
barely feels my footsteps, as I
must go.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
