Mama You're A Liar

Kerli

I used to be a strong girl, mama said that strong girls don't cry
I used to be a cute little girl, mama said that cute girls don't lie
but I say...mama u were so wrong, I cry but I feel strong
and I don't wanna be like u, I hate the things u do
because
mama u're a liar, u say u want me to be me
mama u're a liar, u say that u believe in me

everything u said seemed so right, I never knew that u could be so wrong
but all I really want is u to hold me tight, it's everything I need to feel strong
remember, how we used to speak, until we fell asleep
remember, how u dried my tears, it all was so sincere
but now

mama, u're a liar, u say u want me to be me
u r such a liar, u say that u believe in me

when I was a little girl
I considered u an angel
mama, we were so damn close
and now u're just a stranger
because

mama u're liar.....

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
