Hey there, motorcycle boy,
Let me give that peak a try
You're the biggest thing
At motorcycle high
Mini skirts which stop in back
Poppin' wheelies on the track
Does it make you wonder why
There's never a motorcycle day that goes by

You fall in love with anything
That wears a mini skirt
Who's got you so convinced
That only girls know how to flirt
There's a dream beside of you
Makes me wonder how it's true
You make me feel the way I do
Whenever a motorcycle comes into view

Kickstarting the way of view
Start now while the thing is new
I'd like you to know
That there is more than one way too

Hey there motorcycle boy
I know you have noticed me
Hey hey, have you got a life
It's a complete transparency
And if you've got the time
You can teach me how to ride
And when our course is through
Then I will be a motorcycle boy too

I only wish that it could be now

    This is by "the other Courtney Love", Lois Effeo. The story I heard is that two housemates came up with the name Courtney Love together. One of them went on to stardom, and the other to indy rock obscurity. I kind of prefer the latter. This is a beautiful and simple song.

    By the way, I think there are some mistakes: "Let me give that heap a try", "Mini skirts hitched up in back", "There's a dreamy side of you".

Cajun Girl
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
