Through all we’ve watched you always take the path of least resistance.
We’ve seen you searching for a way that you can cheat the system.
You had us fooled but now the truth has finally been uncovered.
We’ll never look at you the same because we’ve all discovered…

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
The ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
You’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘Cause it’s time for you to face the music

We watched you swear that everything we’ve heard is fabricated.
You said the stories were all false or just exaggerated.
But it turns out that you’re the one who’s making up the stories,
Keeping us in the dark while you bask in your own fame and glory.

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
The ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
You’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘Cause it’s time for you to face the music

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Well, we’ve got news for you.

Your game is over now,
The ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
You’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘Cause your true colors have come through,
Now there’s nothing you can do.
It’s time for you to face the music.


Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

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/

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
