Dirty Town

Mother Mother

Don't like livin' in a dirty town
Don't like livin' in a dirty town
I don't like livin' in a dirty town
'Cause a dirty town gets me down

I saved up and I bought some land
'Cause I can't stand livin' in a dirty town
Yeah, I pinched my pennies and I put 'em down
And I washed my hands of a dirty town
Plant my seeds in the ground
Yeah, I put 'em down in my newfound land
'Cause you can't plant seeds in a dirty town
No, you can't plant seeds in a dirty town

I'm choppin' firewood, choppin' firewood
Chop, chop, chop
Just like a country boy should be chopping wood
I country
My kindling sticks are the perfect little width
Kindling sticks

Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Everybody now
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
(Oh-oh-oh)
A-a-a-all I need is a chicken wire and a chicken feed
And a-a-a-a-all I see is a newfound land fertility, yeah

My lady friend, oh, she don't need to pretend
She country
She cracks the crack of dawn with her crackin' whip
Crackity
We having fun just makin' little chillun
Ch-chillin'

Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
From a dirty town

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Oh my, oh my, oh my
Oh my, oh my

My government, aw, he ain't made of cement
He country
We get along singing good ol' country songs
Ol' Guthrie
My bank account is a shoe box in the ground
And empty

Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town
Get gone from a dirty town (dirty)
Get gone from a dirty town (town)
Get gone from a dirty town (dirty town)
Get gone from a dirty town (dirty town)
Get gone from a dirty town (dirty)
Get gone from a dirty town (town, town)

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.

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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.
