There was a time and a place
That was all full of mistakes
And a face that was all full of shit
I was frustrated and angry

I was more than alive
A catcher in the rye
I was a jet plane...a thin membrane
Washing, and preening, and shedding all hope
I'm Hot Shots Pt. Deux, I'm down periscope
The rope that I'm hanging from keeps telling me what to do
I'm pissing on the fire, and learning a remarkable truth
About you...

Ugly is ugly...transformation is a dream, a dream, a dream...
So love what you are, not what you would like to be

I'm a drunk with a job, I got pictures to prove it
I got some junk in my trunk and the dance moves to move it
(x2)

I am written on the subway walls
I am bitter when I fall
(x2)
***movie sample***
(x4 more)

Shout me in the streets and parks
Scrape your voices on the stars
(x2)
Whoa...

"i am man with guitar, i am three's company
it's the end of the world, sit and watch with me."
(x2)
Oh

Good friend, how loud do you want life to shout her answers in your ears?

    There's a two line stanza, repeated once, that is towards the end...between the last two stanzas up there. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is...my brain can't get past the riffs to focus on the words. If I figure it out, or if someone else can catch it, I'd love to put it up here.

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.

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/

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.
