Creeping over to you on a Saturday afternoon
I must have been ill I was early.
Crawling along, I was seeing what had happened
Through last night it was nothing I assure you.
Well its time to place your bets
You better make sure its a safe one
You could always answer no
I never smoked your cigarettes
I suppose you could say thats a safe one
Five miles down you’ll never hear the attitude
Calm down I’d better go somewhere else.

Falling over each other in the rush to get in their worth
It's so sad and it's boring
Its a shame we could focus all our powers somewhere else
Someone nice someone caring.
But its all been said before
Still nothing ever changes
We’re still hunting out for more
I never meant to cut you short
I wasn’t capable of anything
Five years on you’d never hear that attitude
Calm down I’d rather be somewhere else.

Well its time to place your bets
You better make sure its a safe one
I could always answer no.
I never understood what you meant
When you said she’d hang on every syllable
Five years on I’ve never seen the attitude
Calm down, I’d like a bit of gratitude
I only came here for a bit of solitude
But right now I’d rather be somewhere else.

Crawling over to you on a Saturday afternoon
I must have been ill I was early
Creeping along I was seeing what had happened through last night
It was nothing I assure you.

On my bike, Up the glen, in the sun
Round the bends, having fun, playing games
In the rain, in the lakes, at the gig
Watch the stage, from the crowd, in the clouds
Eating in, on the town, in the Spen

But Ha, not with you.

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.

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/
