This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Both: We're just two little girls from Littlerock.
We lived on the wrong sid of the tracks
But the gentlemen friends who used to call
they never did seem to mind all
they came to the wrong side of the tracks
Marilyn: then someone broke my heart in Littlerock
So I up and left the pieces there
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about
I came to New York and I found out
Both: that men are the same way everywhere
I was young and determined
To be wined, and dined and ermined
and I worked at it all around the clock
Jane: Now one of these days in my fancy clothes
I'm going back home and punch the nose
Both: of the one who broke my heart
Marilyn: the one who broke my heart!
Both: The one who broke my heart in Littlerock, Littlerock,Littlerock, Littlerock!
Marilyn: I learned an awful lot in Littlerock
and here's some advice I'd like to share
find a gentleman who's shy or bold,
or short or tall, or young or old...
Both: as long as the guys a millionaire!
as a kid from the small street
I did very well on wallstreet
though I never owned a share of stock
and now that I'm known in the biggest banks
I'm going back home and give my thanks
to the one who broke my heart
Marilyn: the one who broke my heart
Both: the one who broke my heart
IN LITTLEROCK!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love this song so much. I am a HUGE Marilyn fan, so...I love all these. But this one is so cute, with her and Jane Russell.
