In our sleep, there's more to this nightmare
Will she beg for your mercy?
Slowly but sure, I'm hoping what comes in the absense of love
At night, she'll kick and she'll fight, should they fill in his sight
At night, I'll worry from all, the end of us all

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for me

The clock reads 21:13
All work will stop
And the ground will relieve

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for

When I fall asleep
Your face is all I see
Dear momma I love
I fall asleep
Your face is all I dream
Dear momma I love

Oh, in your frame you'll be this well
In the face you miss the most
You'll see them soon
Stop, I bid you fair warning
Stay up until you
When the memories occur
Of a life you haven't lived
Stay still, you will
I've got a secret to hide
And I've got a secret to hide

In the words
Of father to son
Thy Kingdom Come

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

Please mom, they're coming for me
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for

When I fall asleep
Your face is all I see
Dear momma I love
I fall asleep
Your face is all I dream
Dear momma I love

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
When I fall asleep
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
When I fall asleep

Those days we lost our dignity
The eager dare to stand
The ride home through victory
All the innocent they tried

But I, robot, will never die
I, robot, will never die
But I, robot, will never die
But I, robot, will never die

Cajun Girl
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
