She didn't make the airforce
in that blood-stained cotton dress
and she'd murdered her mother with an axe
you can see why she's such a mess

Let's get lizzie high
watch her fly into the sky
let's get lizzie high
she makes me want to cry

Through all of this and back again
to make the people shut her out
"...and late at night while slitting wrists"
i could still hear you shout

Let's get lizzie high
watch her fly into the sky
Let's get lizzie high
she makes me want to die

Lizzie Borden took an axe
and gave her mother fourty whacks
when she saw what she had done
she gave her father fourty-one

She didn't make the airforce
with that blood-stained cotton dress
and she murdered her father with an axe
to get something off her chest

Let's get lizzie high
watch her fly into the sky
let's get lizzie high
take her to heaven when i die

Let's get lizzie high

(Mad Hatter)
It's very, very rude indeed

    I once had a tape of this band that has since disappeared, and I have been looking for a new copy.... This band seems to be very unknown, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how to obtain a copy. email me at katharine.donnelly@gmail.com if you have any information

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
