Now you could get a lot out’it, as much as gluttony’ll allow.
One day we’ll look back & cry about it; there’s nothing you can do about it now.
You probably don’t even know you want it; it’s easier done than said.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Go on, do what you do best instead.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(I tried to plant the seed...)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(To get you freed.)

It’s just too easy to laugh about it, such reliable reticence.
Aren’t you even glad they caught you chugging your own medicine?
Why don’t you hunt down everybody & show ‘em how you get around.
Yeah, you get around.
You’re just a decoy anyway. You’re a pretty patsy anyhow.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(I must’ve hit a nerve.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(Hadn’t you heard?)

Yeah, I know what you believe in,
Your duty to dish it out.
But you’ve had more than your share of even.
Can you refute me beyond a doubt?
I doubt, I doubt.

Now did you ever consider that you yourself could be the beast that they warned you about?
Of course you didn’t. You’re proud to pride yourself on everything you disavow.

Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(Just like before.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(You sure are sore.)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
(You sure you don’t want more?)
Oh, I’ve gone and done it now.
Gone and done it, gone and done it now.

    This is a fun, clever song about exposing the facade of talking heads from either the liberal or the conservative agenda (I'm not indecisive, just meant it was written to apply to both sides - and, of course, it even stretches beyond political agendas).

    Watch how the media or even the Internet overhypes certain people, who the general public often recognize are not as intelligent as they portray themselves, while that particular talking head truly believes in his/her own image. Exposed for hypocrisy, that person is cast aside by the public and media with no empathy for the person's humanity, ironically due to that person's own displays of superiority during their proverbial 15-seconds of fame.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
