Here I love the bow
See me walk on down to
Adorn myself, it's a new song glory
'Cause see me, what do you think of now

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

Can turn your sights
Kill until sub-zero
See me oh it turns you on

All my gawe
It's the end of your
Take your last one now

Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle

Battle someone, oh
Battle, battle, battle, battle, battle
Battle someone, oh

    This whole album is a paeon to the relationship Albarn and Eleastica singer Justine Frischmann had. The opening and closing songs are obviously about the pain of breakup and ultimate acceptance of it. However the dense, often incomprehensible lyrics in the songs between are as much about this struggle. Rather than being meaningless they are evocative of emotions, pain and ddelirium beyond language. The keynote of 'sense' in the song is the opening and closing line - 'Battle SOMEONE'. This is not the press or another band etc. as suggested above, it is your lover. The madness and disorientation of a destructive urge ('can turn your sights/kill until sub-zero).

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
