Look at your watch with a perilous gaze
A troubled stare
And when I ask where do we go
Say you don't care

Call on me
When the day is dark
Never too late, you're underrated

Whatever your sins, whatever your loss
Your cup is filled
There is no way to turn back the clock
No one will

Call on me
There's fire in your heart
Lying in wait just like a lion

Maybe we should go back to the earth
And live off the sun
Maybe we should crawl in the dirt
Before we run

A thousand years of art and song
Love and war
Tell me why you joined the club
What are you fighting for

All hands on deck
A suicide race
Prop up the good and smother the hate

The wall is high, the sun is low
The four winds roar
Wide-eyed children fill the streets
To take back the score
There is no truth
That lies can make
No willing soldiers in the wake

Maybe we should go back to the earth
And live off the sun
Maybe we should crawl in the dirt
Before we run

Life is fragile
The flight of a sparrow
Will end
And the same goes for us
Born from the same rain and dust

Maybe we should go back to the earth
And life will grow
And the river soon to return
And a plan unfold

Look at your watch with a perilous gaze
A troubled stare
And when I ask where do we go
Say you don't care

Call on me
When the day is dark
Never too late, you're underrated

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/
