You told me you would be here by my side
Warming my heart on this cold winter's night

Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself

You told me you would bring presents and treats (KROQ CD original)
Cheering my spirits with homemade sweet meats (KROQ CD original)

You told me you would move heaven and earth (promo CD remix)
Cheering my spirits with laughter and mirth (promo CD remix)

Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself

Oh, could you ever know how much I care?
Could you ever know that out somewhere
there's a boy who really hurts?

Since I've found you
I've found a girl
I've found a thorn
I've found a queen
Now I am warm

Christmas Celebration [top]
Christmas celebration
And all around the nation
Won't you stay with me tonight cause
I'm running out of fight
and the pagentry is such a bore

Carolers are singing
registers Ka-chinging
And the presents are in place
but I'd rather eat some mace
'cause the eggnog always makes me sick

You know how the story goes
you've seen it all before
That man is so obese that he can't get out the door

Christmas to perfection
I'm begging for some action
and the ringing in my ears
is the sound of Christmas cheer
and they've knocked me screaming overboard

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
