Everything's working out fine
You got all the things you want and I got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kicking back, and digging, it's a wonderful life
And then (and then) you awoke (you awoke)
To start the day out laughin'
It's some kind of a joke

Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

City girls and small town boys
Big time spenders with expensive toys
Pretty people who don't look so good
Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they try (they try), and they try (and they try)
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky

Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

Mama said, "Listen to me
I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could shine on you"
Ohh-oh-yeah, on you, yeah

But they try (they try), and they try (and they try)
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky

Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
(A day in the sun)

Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun

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.

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.

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.
