You Stole The Sun
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
You stole the sun.
You stole the sun.
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
So I got myself a ladder and I climbed upto the sun,
I took with me my sunglasses, I took my water pistol,
And eventually I shot him, and stuck him in my bag
I took him the ladder and he toasted all my fags
And then I hung him in my bedroom and it was nice and hot
I went into my wardrobe I put on my shades and shorts
Soon I had a suntan, I hadn’t told a soul
The police came round to ask me, I said I didn’t know
You stole the sun.
You stole the sun
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
Well it was pitch black outside
No one could see a thing
And I’m stood here with my guitar and I begin to sing
While everybody else, is searching for a torch
I’m stood in the sunshine, there’s no way I’m getting bored
I’m sipping on a cocktail, I suck a strawberry split
I hold my glass up in the air, I said I love this shit
Mr Sunshine said to me, “When will you set me free?”
I said to him with a grin on my face “No you’re all for me”
You stole the sun.
You stole the sun
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
Well I’m making a confession and I don’t know why
But I had this sudden urge to take the sun right out the sky
To keep it for myself, not for anybody else
I got so blind and selfish that I begun to melt
And after about 3 days, I burnt up to a crisp
I had to leave the sun off guard to go and have a piss
To go and get some cream, to soothe my painful blisters
I ran down to the shop, I heard somebody whisper
They asked me where I’d been and why I looked like a lobster
I blamed it on my ex who went to uni and I lost her
She called me on the phone, and give me loads of grief,
She says I need to get a life and that I am a thief
I don’t know how she caught me, she really sussed me out
But anyway I’ve got to go I’ve got things to sort out
I ran back up the road, I looked up at my house
My window was ajar mister sunshine had got out
_________ making daylight, and I felt full of spite,
I fell down on my knees, and I began to cry
Mister Sunshine got away, he was shining down his rays
I went and got my ladders and I got him back again.
You stole the sun.
You stole the sun
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
Who stole, Who stole, Who stole the sun?
You stole the sun yeahh
You stole the sun
You stole the sun and it’s raining outside,
You stole the sun you ain’t giving him to anyone.
You stole the sun,
You stole the sun from everyone.

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.

Silent Planet
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
