Black crows circling up above
Crying out, "Do you hear that sound?"
I never thought it'd come to this
Paradise razed to the ground

Sometimes I don't sleep at night
I hear the wind in the moaning trees
I wonder how my child will fare
With wars and bombs and thieves

The thunder has begun

Some are blind, but choose to see
Lies into the truth they weave
Some put their trust in faith
Some say, "I don't believe"

But each man unto himself
Is an island in a raging sea
We're the boat to anchor or sail
Of the two, which will it be?

The thunder has begun
A storm is gonna come

Who's the one now watching you?
Who says your rights are wrong?
When the preacher and the judge align
A change is coming, it won't be long

We may have burned a bridge too far
We may have run ourselves too far
When you look into the mirror, friend
What is it that you want to ask?

The thunder has begun

Dear Father, when you left me here
You lay your head in eternal sleep
You told me, oh, that all remains
Love is all we have to keep

Black crows circling up above
Crying out, "Do you hear that sound?"
I'd never thought it'd come to this
Paradise razed to the ground

The thunder has begun

A storm is gonna come (Find a haven, find a shelter)
A storm is gonna come (Find a port, find a harbor)
A storm is gonna come (Find a friend, find a mother)
A storm is gonna come (Find a sister, find a brother)

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
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/
