Josephine cracked; her eyes black and bloodied
Screamin' “Gimme back, back all that money Tyrone”
So he snapped her neck back and slapped his lover
Put a bullet in her brain and threw her body off the bridge

(sssshhhhh)

Well nothin' was found ‘till the Brown River flooded
And driftin' down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars; cracked up, handguns and bodies
Given back, back to the world up above….

Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Hey baby someday it comes back

The river's muddy guts backed up, exploded
Spillin' out the facts…fast and a lot
Spillin' out the facts of the city's dirty secrets
Like a city surfacing from out of the black…

Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of secrets
Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars, train tracks, haz mats and bodies
Given back, back to the world up above

A bag of dead kittens,
And mufflers and engines,
An army of rats and Colt 45
Bottles and tires and shipwrecks and trashcans
A porcelain Jesus, and your old Christmas trees
(All) busted and rotten, dismembered, forgotten,
Borrowed or stolen, purchased or hot,
Brokedown and useless, rusting, disgusting
On an unwelcome comeback
Are you ready or not?

Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Hey baby someday it comes back

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
