In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You dickheads never listened;
I've been inprisoned,
gonna need supervision; they say they say.
Sick of the criticsm, sick of the shit,
not gonna take it; no way hozay.
Deezy:
Fuck you! You heard me bitch
Pump you fulla lead and leave you in a ditch
Goddamn, it's more than you deserve
What it is, you gettin on my motherfuckin nerves
Runnin off your mouth like you know it all
Dustin off the gat so I'm ready to bawl
Keep on actin like you know where it's at
I'll be waiting in the bushes with a motherfuckin spiked bat
Yeah, you won't know what hit ya
You better know I was the dog that bit ya
And if I see you again in my motherfuckin neighbourhood
You'll be leaving in a coffin made of fuckin wood
I'm white man, straight up vanilla
don't be mistaken, I'm a motherfuckin killa
goddamn you shoulda listened to your mother
never judge a book by its motherfuckin cover
You dickheads never listened;
I've been inprisoned,
gonna need supervision; they say they say.
Sick of the criticsm, sick of the shit,
not gonna take it; no way hozay.
Bri:
I was christened vicious, a tough one to handle
a man with a jillion...sex scandals
I'm a vandal, a crook, I don't give a fuck
I'm a rhyme and a rhythm delivery truck
I'm fast and furious, gonna mow you down
You better except it cause I'm fuckin renowned
as a bad man, a junkie, I don't give a chunk
gonna rev it up and pump you full of funk
I'll escape from every cell, just watch me bitch
be back in the studio recording number one hits
more sale than your motherfuckin mother's sweet ass
I'm stealthier than a rat so you better think fast
I'm fast and furious, gonna mow you down
You better except it cause I'm fuckin renowned
as a bad man, a junkie, I don't give a shit
Gonna rev it up and pump you full of jee whizz
Gonna rev it up and pump you full of jee whizz
You dickheads never listened;
I've been inprisoned,
gonna need supervision; they say they say.
Sick of the criticsm, sick of the shit,
not gonna take it; no way hozay.
No, no
not gonna take it; no way hozay.
No.

Holiday

@[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
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/
