In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
If he wants to fight you
At the school gates
Half past four grab your bag
Don't you be late
Oh, if he wants to hit you
Hit you in the face
If he wants to hurt you
In front of your mates
If he wants you to run away
Run away run away
Don't you fucking run away
[Chorus]
Go square go
Go square go
Go square go
Go square go square go
Don't you wait for the bell
To ring ding-a-ling-a-ling
One step forward then a
Bada-bada-bang
Don't you make me
Go down to the pub
With all my mates knowing
Some individual smashed you up
You know its something
That you'll have to face
Face to face
Man to man
Here and now
Biff bang pow
[Chorus]
I don't really feel too good
My heart is beating faster
My dad told me
Not to come home
If I don't kill this bastard
My dad is right, my dad is right
My dad is right, my dad is right
Win, lose or draw the fight
This bullying has got to stop tonight
Here we, here we, here we, here we,
Here we, here we fucking go
Here we, here we, here we, here we,
Here we, here we fucking go [Repeat: x12]

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
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I feel that this song means alot more to someone from Glasgow, so this is the look on it from a 14 year old boy from Glasgow, 1st i have noticed alot of people in the comments misunderstanding the lyrics were it says "go square go" a square go is a Glasgow term for a fair fight which people say when they are like provoking someone.
In Glasgow fighting is just the way we live and wether we know we are going to lose or not, you have to fight, everyone disrespects someone for running from a fight, if you fight and lose, then you still get respect, i really do get what he says about his dad, i was always brought up like that, i guess its like shame on your dad if you lose.
Alot of people say that this is a sad song, but it makes me happy, it reminds me of the Glasgow culture, most people say thats a bad thing but the adreniline, people who have been brought up in Glasgow will understand. and for some reason it always makes me feel as if im actually getting ready for a fight, especially the "Here we fucking go" bit, I love chanting that so much.
