It's time to tell my story
of a girl I used to know
Always cried into her pillow
under pinups on the wall
She didn't make Italia Conte
didn't get that TV show
Then a nice man said he'd help her
with a new portfolio

Missus be Missus E Missus A-you-T
Missus I Missus F-you-L
I'm gonna reach the top
I ain't ever gonna stop
and I'm sure gonna ring your bell
Missus D Missus I Missus F-F-I
Missus see Missus you-L-T
If ever there's a girl
that could rock your world
Then that girl sure is me
(right!)

(Chorus)
So the fun won't start til she's living it up
feeling good on top of the pops
Can you make it me plus one?
Dress falls down at the aftershow
She breaks down in the video
Think you'll find it's me plus one

Now this wannabe seniorita
met a group of likely girls
Traded posters and the voxpops
for jetting round the world
But it didn't make her happy
and now she flies alone
The wrong pictures in the paper
and no one back at home

The people around you
won't tell you how it is
Don't you think it's gone on long enough?
Take a look at yourself
Get out of the car
You know it's time
you've got to let it go

    A rags-to-riches-to-ragsn tale.

    Girl dreams of being a star and cries because she isn't one. The chorus shows how she's going to be big news and that it'll start off great, but end badly.

    "People around you Won't tell you how it is Don't you think it's gone on long enough? Take a look at yourself Get out of the car You know it's time You've got to let it go It's gone" = You don't know what it's like till you've been thereand you can be chewed up and spat out at any time.

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/

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.

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.
