This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Each town has its cliques those who don't get along
And then there's towns I know where certain kids just don't belong
So know your rivals and watch your back
'Cause no one's gonna be there when the enemy attacks
When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
Wouldn't things be different had the tables been turned?
If the people won't protect you you must fend for yourself
When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
You drove right over him and then you sped away
How does it feel to kill and know you didn't pay?
So walk away even though a life is gone someday,
You'll know the price when god repays you for your wrongs
And then there's towns I know where certain kids just don't belong
So know your rivals and watch your back
'Cause no one's gonna be there when the enemy attacks
When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
Wouldn't things be different had the tables been turned?
If the people won't protect you you must fend for yourself
When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
You drove right over him and then you sped away
How does it feel to kill and know you didn't pay?
So walk away even though a life is gone someday,
You'll know the price when god repays you for your wrongs

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
This song is probably one of my least favorites on Sing Loud, Sing Proud, but it isn't a bad song...I think it is fairly obvious what it is about...maybe the corruption and the apathy that is present in society...something like that.
Ok you definately got that wrong Madcappunk. This song (as it says under the title) is about a friend of the band who was killed. The first verse starts out saying how there are gangs all over the city and how they dont like each other and such but there is also the kids that dont want anything to do with the gangs and dont fit in with the rest of the "in" crowd. These are the people that everyone forgets about and they dont care if they hurt them. The last verse shows that this kid that never did anything to anyone was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was killed because of it, but the killers escaped prosecution. In the middle of the song there is a news report of a kid being killed by a gang. This is what the song is about, some kid getting killed because of gangs.
Brian Deneke was a punk kid from Texas who got in a fight with some jock football player that culminated in the jock running him over with his truck and killing him. The killer got no jailtime, just probation and a fine.
Dropkick Rover, you're wrong, though your main aspects are right. The song is dedicated to Brian Deneke, who never knew the band. The poor lad got jumped outside an IHOP with his friends. the town's entire Football team showed up and, as Punkpirate said, Brian got run down by Dustin Camp's cadillac, litterally crushing his skull open, then joking about it to Brian's girlfriend. The little bastard got no jail time, until he violated probation, and his fine was payed off by everyone else's charity, because he was an "All-American" kid from the football team. If I ever see something like that I would kill the guilty party, even if I knew I'd be condemned. I am a traditional Irishman, vengeance stands above all but three things, and jocks ain't one of 'em.
