Emotions running high
You're gonna find you're running out of chances
Can't get it together, it's now or never
Can't you see the damage?

You're somewhere, waiting on your own spotlight
You're starving, holding out alone tonight
Time won't change you
It just gets you by
Make up your pretty mind

Tell me what you want
Don't make me, don't make me
Wait around all night to watch me
Break my heart around you
Break my heart around you
Tell me what you want
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
If you don't want to stay
Then I don't wanna
Break my heart around, heart around you
Break my heart around you

Feeling suffocated, disassociated
Parading in the glory
And when the party's over, the glitter and the glamor
Tell a different story

You're somewhere, waiting on your own spotlight
You're starving, holding out alone tonight
Luck won't save you
It just gets you high
Make up your dirty mind

Tell me what you want
Don't make me, don't make me
Wait around all night to watch me
Break my heart around you
Break my heart around you
Tell me what you want
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
If you don't want to stay
Then I don't wanna
Break my heart around, heart around you
Break my heart
(Oh...)

I am made for you
You are not alone
Do you want to stay
Or let go?

Tell me what you want
I'm waiting
If you don't want to stay
Then I don't wanna
Break my heart around you
Break my heart around you
Tell me what you want
I'm waiting
If you don't want to stay
Then I don't wanna
Break my heart around you
Break my heart around you

Tell me what you want
Don't make me, don't make me
Wait around all night to watch me
Break my heart around you
Break my heart around you
Tell me what you want
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
If you don't want to stay
Then I don't wanna
Break my heart around, heart around you
Break my heart
Break my heart around, my heart around 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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
