God only knows what I will do
Now that I found out he's with you
Laugh as my world turns grey
I still can't find the words to say
Nobody loves you like I do

You play hide and seek
We play peek'a'boo
Even I can see
Nothing good happens with you

Nobody knows that I love you
It's a secret I keep to myself
How I feel
Sometimes I think I'm invisible
It's impossible
And nothing else is even real

We play hide and seek
We play peek'a'boo
Even I can see
Something strange happened to you

    My Opinion

    Listening to this song over and over again, I never even cared what the lyrics were - they're sung so beautiful. This is what the 90's sounded like, yet this song never made to the radio. Guess that's what happens when you don't play ball with the big white boys in black suits.

    Morrissey ruminates about geniuses in his autobiography - how everyone just waits around for some genius to come along and state the obvious.

    I've kept secrets to myself about loving someone.

    Anton states the obvious like a genius.

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.

Page

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.
