A Woman a Man Walked By/The Crow Knows Where All the Little Children Go

PJ Harvey

A Woman a Man Walked By:

I once knew a woman man
"A courageous friend", I thought,
But turns out so wrong was I
When we were up against the wall

He had chicken liver balls
He had chicken liver spleen
He had chicken liver heart
Made of chicken liver parts

Lily livered little parts
Lily livered little parts

Prematurely going bald
Any passion long-gone-cold
But I wanted to explore
The damp alleyways of his soul

All the times he tried to help
He spit in my face and laughed
That woman man
I want his fucking ass
I want his fucking ass
I want his fucking ass
I want your fucking ass!

Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hu-hu-hu-hu-hermaphrodite
He's looking likely
Cramped in a taxi
I see you all too clearly
Sucking on a little pea
Sucking on a little pea!

Aaaah!!

My, my, you little toy
He's just a mummy's boy
Where's your liver,
Where's your heart?
What's with all your woman parts?
Now it's my turn to laugh
Just stick it up your fuckin ass!
Just stick it up your fuckin ass!
Just stick it up your fuckin ass!
Just stick it up your fuckin ass!

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
