Oh, I've been working all week and I'm tired.
I've been working all week and I'm... just living for the weekend.

Hey hey, I got some money, I just got paid, got some money and I can't wait for 6 O'Clock,
I'm outta' heeeere

End of the night there's a club and a glass got my name on.
Run down my street I have glass in my feet, I can't fight it........

I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!

Man! Yeah, I've been working all week and I'm shot, yeah, I've been working all week for what?
Just living for the weekend.

Ahhh. Shit. Saw my girl and I had a fit. Saw my neighbours and all it is...
No she can't come in, she caught her voice.
Slip round the back, at the back there's a place where there's a window.
Drop to the floor, can't risk eyes through the door, I got a family.....

I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!

Can you feel it? Feel the pressure? Rising?

Pressure
Pressure
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure
Feel the pressure
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure

Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Living for the weekend
Oh, Living for the weekend

Going out tonight
Going out tonight
Girl, with you and I going out tonight [Repeat: x4]

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/

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
