This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Where have all the boys gone, we can't find them at all, we can't find them at all
All the arcades and sports bars and hockey rinks empty, there's nobody for me
It's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
You said I was your queen,
But you've traded me in for a straight flush to win
We feel like two ducks in a pond being held up by cowboys in Texas (I hate this damn!)
Poker night, 'cause we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
Clearly this fad will pass just as soon as the hockey teams get off their
You will wish you weren't in debt for buying aluminum-weighted chips (idiot!)
Poker night, and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all
It's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart!
'Cause it's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart!
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all.
All the arcades and sports bars and hockey rinks empty, there's nobody for me
It's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
You said I was your queen,
But you've traded me in for a straight flush to win
We feel like two ducks in a pond being held up by cowboys in Texas (I hate this damn!)
Poker night, 'cause we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
Clearly this fad will pass just as soon as the hockey teams get off their
You will wish you weren't in debt for buying aluminum-weighted chips (idiot!)
Poker night, and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all
It's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart!
'Cause it's poker night and we weren't invited
Take your spade, out of my heart!
Where have all the boys gone?
We can't find them at all
We can't find them at all.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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/
i think this song is about a girl who has a boyfriend who spends all of his time with his buddies and doesn't care about her. hes told her that shes her everything but then he turns around and goes to his buddie's house.
reading the lyrics again, i think he has a gambling problem. not a problem with hanging out with his friends.
I thought this song was about the 2004-05 hockey lockout (timing works as the album came out in early 06). All the boys used to be easy to find on a Saturday when they were watching the game but since the game wasn't on and Ron McLean was suddenly hosting Movie Night in Canada they seem to have replaced it with the more private poker played at a buddy's house. If non-hockey fan girlfriends feel isolated when the game is on, poker is even less inviting.
The hockey lockout interpretation comes from the references to sports bars being empty and that line about how "this fad will pass as soon as those hockey teams get off their ..."
Some of the boys in question may be developing a gambling problem but it seems to be more about loneliness than about gambling issues - and the line "take your spade out of my heart" is more tongue in cheek than anything else.
