LISTEN MY SON,
ONE THING I'VE LEARNED,
AND I KNOW IT,
BOMBERS CAN OPEN BOMB BAYS.

LOVE ALL YOU CAN,
THIS PRECIOUS THING,
CALLED YOUR OWN LIFE,
REMEMBER BOMBERS CAN OPEN BOMB BAYS.

MIGHT YOU MEET SOMEBODY,
THAT HAS YOUR MOTHERS EYES AND SMILE,
MIGHT YOU MEET THEM,
DON'T BLOW THEM AWAY,
DON'T HURT THEM,
JUST HOLD THEM,
MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY.

THE THINGS YOU DO,
IT'S UP TO YOU,
TRY BEING HAPPY,
AND I SAY I CAN BALEIVE IT,
AND I DO,
I DO BELEIVE THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU.

(bridge)
YOU,THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU (2X)

(SOLO)

LISTEN MY SON,
I'M IN A WAR AND I KNOW IT,
REMEMBER BOMBERS CAN OPEN BOMB BAYS.

COMPLIMENTARY WORSHIP,
MAY CLOSE YOUR MANY OPEN DOORS,
MIGHT YOU BE COOL,
DON'T GET BLOWN AWAY,
DON'T HURT YOU,
JUST HOLD YOU,
AND MAKE YOU HAPPY.

THE THINGS YOU DO,
IT'S UP TO YOU,
TYR BEING HAPPY,
AND I SAY I CAN BELIEVE IT,
AND I DO,
I DO BELIEVE THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU.

    This song is on the Rockthology DVD! The video was a little cheap but I was so happy that I saw Ozzy do a song I never heard before...

    I think this song is saying that when you meet someone. Don't judge or try to hurt them. Be friends with them, it will avoid a lot of trouble (Bombers opening bomb bays).

    Bad fucking ass solo by the way

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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/
