The Deverell Twins

Black Box Recorder

I'm swimming with the Deverell Twins
I haven't got a care in a world, not a care
They are looking after me

This is the age of chivalry
This is the age of alchemy

I'm invited by the Deverell Twins
I'm delighted to accept
Their hospitality

This is the life of luxury
It's the beginning of the end

They show me their charts
Away to the stars
Say I'm as pretty as a picture

I'm admired by the Deverell Twins
They're very fond of me
They tell me their secret

This is the age of chivalry
It's the beginning of the end

They started the fire
Stifled their grins
No-one suspected the Deverell Twins

I'm enchanted by the Deverell Twins
I'm as pretty as a picture

    I think the Deverell twins were a pair of kids murdered in Victorian London, found floating in the river... Sarah Nixey's voice with this is absolutely bloody terrifying.

    In St Bartholomew's Churchyard at Lower Basildon, there is a joint tomb for two sons of Edward and Priscilla Deverell. Both boys drowned together bathing in Thames. The tombstone reads "They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided."

    Probably where the names come from in this song.

Holiday

@[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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
