Well I can't control the universe
cause I am only a man
And I've been in the papers but they won't tell me who I am
And if you really need a new philosophie
well there's one that makes sense
The one I profess

Chorus:
I say hey whatever
Let your beauty come alive
Let your colour fill the sky
And say hey whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind
Let your colour fill the sky

All the world's in waiting room
And we're standing in line
I found the answer to the question
What makes this time
Oh won't let them change your story
won't let them change your thought
so let the gurus and philophers hit you on?

Chorus:
Hey, Whatever
Let your beauty come alive
Let your color fill the sky
And say hey whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind
Let your colour fill the sky

So I am taking a seat at the roulette thing
We've just been in a wheel
Should I bet or take what comes
Don't change how I feel
You're a champion of science
You're just some freak show fool?
What cannot be proved no no can still be true

Chorus:
And I say hey whatever
Let your beauty come alive
Let your colour fill the sky
And say hey whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind
Let your colour fill the sky
Hey whatever
Let your beauty come alive
Let your colour fill the sky
And say hey whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind?
Let your colour fill the sky

Aaaahh
Hey whatever

    this wasn't even their song. The original is from a band called Relish and their song was called Rainbow Zephyr. It was a one hit wonder for them and it is far better than the original, It also makes more snese in its lyrics:

    Well I've tasted the mustard seed and I've walked with the man and I've read the isis papers but have always known what I am and I can sing you songs about the mystical men but I won't make much sense I profess Chorus: oh, rainbow zephyr let your beauty come alive let your colour fill the sky rainbow zephyr why don't you liberate my mind? let your colour fill the sky she's in the waiting room and she's sat in line well the question is why cos I've been good all my life giving up the gift you say the good die young now do gurus and philosophers still turn you on? Chorus: ah, rainbow zephyr let your beauty come alive let your colour fill the sky I said rainbow zephyr why don't you liberate my mind? let your colour fill the sky its like a purse without violets we go from the wheel to what's real and I said this ain't no repograse but I tell ya now its just the way I feel are you a champion of science or are you some freak show fool? because what cannot be proved can still be true Chorus (repeat):

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
