Hey, you say you won't, you can't give me any more love
You say you will, you can give up what I've got babe
You make me high when I talk on the phone, hey
You know I gotta ring up your number when I know you ain't home
'Cos you gotta hold on me baby like a dog with a bone, hey, hey
Dog with a bone

One more time baby, now
Ooh, oooh

Hey, you say you won't, you can't give me any more love
But you say that you will you can give up what I've got babe

Alright

Roger: Well hello fan club, uh. Sorry it hasn't got me on it. Must have ruined it for all of you, but there you go.

John: Hello, John here. I hope you're having a good time. And Jacky, in return for us doing this musical offering for you, is after we've finished she's going to come on and do a strip for you

Freddie: Hey, I hope everybody's having a good time (good time, good time, good time, good time), I hope everybody's having a, having a good time (good time, good time, good time)

Brian: Having a good time, yes, yes, before I heard all this nonsense. Where's the microphone, which one? Hello it's Brian here. 'Fraid I've lost my voice because I've been bellowing. Oh God, God I wish someone would shut that bloody guitarist up, it's dreadful. Well actually we'd love to be with you, we're sorry we're not with you but we're too busy making silly noises and thinking up new chords like this one and having mid life crises and things. You see it's all very easy for you but we have a lot of work to do so we're going to play you this song instead. It goes like this.

    The only song I've heard on that list is Dog With a Bone and at least half of A New Life is Born.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
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.

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.
