Warming the hearts of
Tragic hoodlum spirits
Brighten the eyes of
Petty thieves who crawl at night
Who feign to use a knife
Jingle jangle the cosmo's on fire
The blazing lines of the criminal choir
Rejoiced to be alive
Broken and depraved
Sullied mop and rusted pail
Centuries of poison to escape this heaven or hell
This earthly cell
Of dead flowers and so many wounded foes
It's hard to remember fantasy or horror
Unwanted Caresses
Little Lolitas who want to be held in large hands
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Dear Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Witches confused by their own magic
Witches displeased by their own perfume
Shame-locked women
Shaman women
Fuming with shame
Love-locked women
Women their own magic women
Shadow body, shadow spirit
White blood, blue night
Angels lyrics
Female creature wilted high in the raftors
Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter
Shadows spilling into the babe's milk
Sorry eyes of ghost's memoir
Four blue plus two, that makes six
That's twelve times two
Two brown eyes, one green
Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
Down the road drowning in dry grass
In the sweet maiden's lap poisoned with nightshade
Witches last laugh
Stick your thumb out and
Lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon

Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Even though red is not your color
I'll dress you in feathers
And fly you in the windy weather
Like a child bird marooned
On an island of cats
Little dewy brawling cats
With cross-eyed and hats
They take mercy on you
They take you for walks
The mercy choir singing dismal hymns
Watery bible rhymes
All jumbled a mess
A mess of bright graves
And flowers and balloons

Here's what you gotta do:
Just stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

With a knapsack of trinket
I'm off to seek my fortune again
Chasing ghosts of dead orphans
Friends, cousin or kin
We wave to the passer by
Moth wings of a butterfly
Endless tracks where no car pass
Close your eyes and you can fly

I'm off to meet my soul mate
A naked fawny jail bate
Wading into ponds
Filly with polly wigs at dawn
Mourning the light
That slipped from my eyes
A little child with dirty hair and dirty nails
I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair
And wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home

    This song is perfect for bad days... It starts off slow and a bit dark but by the end should have you smiling (with dancing a distinct possibility).

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
