Education, fornication, in you are, go
Education, subjugation, now you're out, go
Education, fornication, in you are, go
Don't be late for school again, boy

I think me, I want a life
I think me, I want a house and a wife
I wanna shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
Through the break of dawn, yeah

Education, fornication, in you are, go
Education, subjugation, now you're out, go
Education, fornication, in you are, go
Don't be late for school again, girl

I think me, I want a life
I think me, I want a house and a wife
I wanna shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
Through the break of dawn, yeah

I think me, I want a life
I think me, I want a house and a wife
I wanna shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
Through the break of dawn, yeah

Indoctrination of a nation
Indoctrination of a nation
Subjugation of damnation
Subjugation of damna-

Don't be late for school again, boy
Don't be late for school again, girl
Don't be late for school again, boy
Don't be late for school again, you

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.
