Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over

Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over

Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over

Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over

How does it feel now to watch it burn (burn)?

Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over

Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over

Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now
To watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over

    I would say that this song is about a relationship. and she is comparing her loved on leaving. she compares the feeling of being heartbroken, to a missle ripping through her heart, raising the weapon is the moments leading up to the exact moment when they are over.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/

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.
