These are models of my own design
Two circles never meeting
One in 92 and 95
And it's all been up to me

I may not listen to my own advice
It can be so overwhelming
There are strains on every double life
But you won't hear me complain

Yes it's true, you knew
You believed it
You should just turn
And walk away

Took a compliment and photograph
And committed it to memory
Model of how not to act
At least not imitate

I wouldn't it have been ideal
If it all fell down from Heaven
And how am I supposed to feel?
When I know what you did wrong

Yes it's true, you knew
You believed it
You should just turn
And walk away

Yes it's true, you knew
I was leaving
We're under the same
Skyline today

    Oh my gosh, this song sounds almost exactly like a Jimmy Eat World song, but I can't remember what it's called. It's a really good song, though. But the JEW one (while the recording quality of it is crappy as hell) has some lines in it that go "Sure I'm gonna let you go/I was wrong to ever trust you/ Don't think that you'll ever know/ How you could be so cruel...It's all clear, I can hear/ And I'm not gonna share you with no one/ Surprise, I've got eyes/ Now goodbye..." Both EXCELLENT songs. Check out the JEW one on the singles album.

    I never listen to my advice... never... and even if it's not what the songs about.. the first line just sticks out

    emostartistchik...the song is called "spangle" and i know what you mean, they sound exactly the same...well, if "spangle" had been acoustic. it's bizarre. a good song nonetheless.

          this song seems like its a response to Spangle. "two circles never meeting" is like she's hiding two guys from eachother. and in Spangle, the narrator found out he was being cheated on and had to let her go.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
