Meet my lady every morning half past nine
When the bells begin to ring
Looking out the window down the road
And I see the same damn thing

Three days to get it on
And three days to get it off
And three more days to die
Then I'm six feet down
And I'm asking the good Lord up in heaven
Why? Why Why?

You can't find all the answers
If you're always standing in the rain
And once the chance goes by
It just might not come 'round again

Three days to build it up
And three days to tear it down
And three more days to die
And I'm still six feet down
Still wonderin', prayin' and asking
Why? Why Why?

We gotta have a reason and you know it
We gotta have a reason and you know it, you know it
Oh, we gotta have a reason and you know it
Hey, we gotta have a reason and you know it, you know it
And you know it and you know it

Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, freedom, paint me a picture
Show it to me right now
Freedom, paint me a picture
Freedom, freedom, paint me a picture
Show it to me right now
Freedom, freedom, paint me a picture
Where are you, freedom?

Meet my lady every morning half past nine
When the bells begin to ring
Looking out the window down the road
And I'm seeing the same damn thing

Three days to get it on
And three days to get it off
And three more days to die
And I'm six feet down
And I'm asking the good Lord up in heaven
(Why? Why Why?)

Why?
I wanna know why, oh
Can you tell me?
You know I really wanna know
But can you tell me?
Do you know the answer?
You know what I'm looking for
You know I really wanna know it
Can you show it?
I wanna know it
Can you show it to me?
Never can you show it?
I wanna know it
Can you show it?
I really wanna know it
Can you show it?
I wanna know it
Can you show it?
Can you show me?
Can you show me?
Show me
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
And I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I'm doing
Don't know what I'm doing
Don't know why I'm doing a thing
Don't know why I'm doing a thing
Don't know why I'm going the places I'm going
Don't know why I'm doing the things that I'm doing
I don't know why
If you got any answers for sale
Got any answers for sale
Do you know the things that I'm talking about?
To you, does it make any sense at all?
Am I just wasting time asking you?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Can you feel that something is wrong?
Can you feel

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
