Two brothers, 1961
On a road ninety miles too long
Someone don't want us together but
We just keep on walking cause we're one,oh

I got a voice and you got a reason
For the glory we sing our broken song
Take a side and I'll take the other one
Two brothers under one nation

Wanna feel your love right now
Wanna see the night and feel the day
Ever try to touch somebody
Ninety miles away

But it won't be the same again (won't be the same)
No, it won't be the same again (won't be the same)

Third brother, 1989
Got through it, opened up the line
Stand tall, I'll follow you this time
We're all just waiting on a sign
Wanna feel your love right now
Wanna see the night and feel the day
Ever try to touch somebody
Ninety miles away

But it won't be the same again (you and I know, you and I)
No, it won't be the same again (to the ending, to the end)
I'll be with you until the end (you and I know, you and I)
But it won't be the same (won't be the same)

We're broken, we're battered
We're torn up and we're shattered
We turn back on each other
The moment that it mattered
The curtain is shaking
It's bending and it's breaking
And I'll be with you in the end (until the end)

But it won't be the same again (you and I know, you and I)
Can't go back to the way it was (to the ending, to the end)
I'll be with you until the end (you and I know, you and I)
But it won't be the same, won't be the same again

    My Opinion

    Well, Isaac said this song is about the Berlin Wall, but I think of this song as a love song. Love doesn't necessarily mean "attraction between a boy and a girl". Love is present everywhere:

    We're broken, we're battered We're torn up and we're shattered We turn back on each other The moment that it mattered The curtain is shaking It's bending and it's breaking And I'll be with you in the end (until the end)

    My fav part

    Wanna feel your love right now Wanna see the night and feel the day Ever try to touch somebody Ninety miles away

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
