You like to buy and buy the best
It's not been that long since you were penniless
So you flaunt your success
You spend on yourself and you spend with finesse
And the ones who felt your wrath
Need constant reminders you're not going back
You invest in the profane
Your license plate reads like a mundane campaign
You collect and attain
The porcelain figures are rare and hand made
But those who are in your way
Can't rest assured they could be you one day

Just throw it all away
Review your fate and seize the day
You'll throw it all away
It never mattered anyway
This red letter day
Is bigger than you'll ever be
So throw it all away
Seize the day

You let us know you made the grade
All your Italian suits are tailor made
You obsess on the world pay
One of these days deeper needs will invade
We throw it all away
The flames they can bite as you live for the day

Just throw it all away
Review your fate and seize the day
You'll throw it all away
It never mattered anyway
This red letter day
Is bigger than you'll ever be
So throw it all away
Seize the day

    this is the band Babyshambles wish they could be. They should merge all them bands together, create some sort of superband. I'd love to hear Ordinary Boys covering "8 dead boys".

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/

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.

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.
