Hey
What, what, what, what, what, what, what? Huh?
Oh, nothing
Just wondering why it is you're doing
What? What is you're doing
That whatever it is you're doing

Oh yeah, why, why?
I dunno
It just doesn't seem like something you'd be doing, I mean
You of all people, ha. Know what I mean?
Yeah, I know it's been bugging you since the day I was born, huh?
I asked my friend Anne about it

I said, Anne, Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, huh?
It's been bugging them since the day that I was born

She said do whatever the hell you want to do
Now is the time when you can do anything
Everything you do, anything, it will still turn out great
You've got the world at your feet

I never claimed to be different
I only said I was bored
And she's tired of your uniqueness
It sends her over head first
Then the rest of her follows
The breath of life, it never left her hollow

And I can do everything, she says, she says with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight, 'cause I'm with Anne
Anne, Anne, who? Anne Dagnabit
Island princess girl with the juice
What's this, I see she brought her whole uplown contingent

First there's Johnny
He always loves a party
He's followed by Vinnie
Who's feelin' kinda skinny

He says hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat
She says Vinnie, you're always starving
Man get away from that fridge

Now, here comes Lucy
She's feelin' really sexy
She's followed by her boyfriend
Who'd better not turn around this time or he's bound to lose her
And followed by Jamilla, who's got the cream soda

And I can do everything, I won't tell you again
And we can go anywhere tonight, 'cause we're with Anne
Anne

And we can do anything we want, we'll tell you again
We can can go anywhere tonight, 'cause we're with Anne Anne Anne
Who? Anne Dagnabit
Island princess girl with the juice

Girl with the hots, hots for Ricky
Whoop we're having fun, hey
Whoop we're having fun, hey
Hey hey Hey you guys, what?
Additude Additude
Hey

    This is a good, fun song with a nice melodic chorus, it doesn't surprise me it made into into the greatest hits. Good video too. Mosley was never a great singer but since when did that matter in punk rock.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
