Shame

The Smashing Pumpkins

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna see this through
Don't let them get to you

Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame

Love is good and love is kind
Love is drunk and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is drunk all the time

Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shame

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna walk so far
You're gonna wonder who you are

Love is good and love is kind
Love is good and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is good all the time

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

Hello, goodbye
You know you made us cry

    go to billysorgan.com. theres a short story about his depression, he wrote this as a "little song", acoustic, and simple. This is definiitaly about chamberlin. he wasnt supposed to be fired permanently, billy says that he was supposed to think that because music was jimmys life (like many others'.) too bad sp broke up. i love maynard, but i blame MJK for steeling Iha. i never liked that melissa chick, d'arcy was better. after jimmy got the "pink slip", the band fell apart. so, this song takes on a double meaning...i feel bad for billy

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
