Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn
Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn

Oh I've been waiting all week
Just to talk to Jimmy who plays the French horn
He's got skin that glows like the brass
And he's got a voice that sounds like Mr Mile's guitar

Well Jimmy burnt his hand on a hot coal
Then Mr Miles said it's time to sing along
Late night cookies and cream for all of you
Then we'll sit around and watch the fire burn

Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn
Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight (x2)
'Cause in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight (x2)

Kumbaya
Kumbaya my Lord
('Cause in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight) (x2)


[There's a bit here that I can't really understand, if anyone can tell it to me I'll put it in, thanks.]

Ohh oohhh oumbaway (x2)

Chips and hot dogs
Don't mean a thing
When I've got you babe

McDonalds, McDonalds
Kentucky Fried Chiken and a Pizza Hut (x2)

Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn
Sitting 'round the campfire
Waiting for my turn

    Very nice song, i love all of angus and julia's songs =D

    That bit that's missing is a song that i learnt at a camp, it is as follows:

    Old McTavis is dead, and his brother don't know it, and his brother is dead, and McTavis don't know it and they're both lying dead, and they're in the in the same bed, neither one knows that the other is dead

    hoped that helped

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.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
