The men and the boys,
You tried 'em all on for size
Even went out with the sheriff on his rounds
But he only caught a glimpse of the glow in your eyes
Looking back on the low lights of town

I walk from your room
To the edge of the road
Flick of the wrist and you flagged a man down
Little did you care.
Little did he know
As you left the low lights of town

You shifted gears
You moved through the mist
With the sad summer sun going down
And you rode down the road
And you stopped for a kiss
And looked back at the low lights of town

One moment of madness
One mistake made
With the man in the moon looking down
And the man in your arms
Another face that would fade
Looking back on the low lights of town

It felt like forever
The first time you wore pearls
They weren't stolen, you said
They were found
But the magic and the mystery
At the moment was all yours
Looking back on the low lights of town

One moment of madness
One mistake made
With the man in the moon looking down
And the man in your arms
Another face that would fade
Looking back on the low lights of town

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
