All packed up heading for unknown
We had egg ranch rolling, blowing down the road
A bat against the head, fighting in the streets
Lump got the bump, the old man just got bent
Brand new town, brand new face to meet
We're hungry, tired, haven't showered in a week
Well pulling on in to the hotel, motel, roach ridden', dirty old shoe smell

But at least a warm place to close our eyes
'Cause when I'm out on the road
There's no place I'd rather be
Than with my friends just having fun

I'm talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times

Now on through Little Rock next thing the tire popped
Oncoming freeway, pig truck, now we're fucked
With the thunderball totaled we had no where to go
So we jumped on a plane in time for the next show

'Cause when I'm on the stage
There's no place I'd rather be
Than with my friends having fun

I'm talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Good times
Good times
Good times
Good times

It's the way you feel when things are right
Both hands holding on real tight
The crowd is there to lift you high
Like Superman you could almost fly
A certain feeling when the sun goes down
And having all your good friends around
The good times never seem to end
When your on the road and you're with your friends

I'm talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times, good-times
Talkin' bout good times
Good times
Talkin' bout good times!

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
