It takes the pain away
That could not make you stay
It's way to broke to fix
No glue, no bag of tricks

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were Siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near.

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

Don't go and lose your face
At some stranger's place
And don't forget to breathe
And pay before you leave

Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl.

    I think Brian said once that 'smile would make me sneeze' was a reference to really disliking someone to the point where you were allergic to them, and, it seems, even their expressions

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.
