Words from your lips
Oh cursed hips
Oh this ghetto
Is in my blood

Dancing in mansions??
No we're for ransom
In a shoebox flat off Filmoore

DJ Hello My Name Is Ryan (name of this dj i know named "ryan":)
Whip out a busted record
Hit the sixth gear

Oh our sins are so tasty
You know we got
Ghetto Ways tattoed all over our faces

Oh we're like...

I know you girl you live on down the street yeah
And you're so lovely, you said
I'm really glad we gots the chace to meet yeah
So you dance, or what man??

I said...

Shy girl, police are outside
DJ jumped the fence but...
We're still dancing here
Secret Ghetto Ways...

Before your kissed kissed my kiss
You licked your lips
So cute, as if I wouldn't fine 'em deadly

Still you're totally shy, And so am I
You know we both just moved into the neighborhood

Hot girl status, in a poor girl palace
With a ghetto attitude man
Oh, a trick, you know I'm off limit
You kissed me, now, everybody knows...

Shy girl, police are outside
Tear gassing our friends but...
We're still dancing here
Secret Ghetto Ways
Shirley, police are outside
And we're still...

If you're lips touched my lips
Could I call you my baby, or what,
When they write us up a song
To tell you how I feel
This is how the words will flow...

Shy girl police are inside
Arrest us if they can
But we're still dancing here
Secret Ghetto Ways
Shirley, police are inside
And we're still...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/
