Come back, cover
Shades, good God
It's a raid
Cut off the lights
And call the law
Cut off the lights
And call the law
Standing over there
The devil's on his way
Call the law
Call the law
The devil's on his way
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Make me sweat
Still good
It's still good
Still good
It's still good
Turn over
Turn over
Turn over
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain
Tall women
Is all I need
Tall women
Is what I want
One more time
I wanna give the drummer
Some of this funky soul
We got here
You don't have to do
No song, brother
Just keep what you got
Don't turn it loose
Cause it's a mother
When I count to four
I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four
I want you to come back in
I got to holler
I said it's in my feet
Feels so sweet
It's in my shake, good God
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
I'm about to blow
I'm about to blow
One, two, three, four
Get it
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
One, two, three, four
Shades, good God
It's a raid
Cut off the lights
And call the law
Cut off the lights
And call the law
Standing over there
The devil's on his way
Call the law
Call the law
The devil's on his way
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Make me sweat
Still good
It's still good
Still good
It's still good
Turn over
Turn over
Turn over
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain
Tall women
Is all I need
Tall women
Is what I want
One more time
I wanna give the drummer
Some of this funky soul
We got here
You don't have to do
No song, brother
Just keep what you got
Don't turn it loose
Cause it's a mother
When I count to four
I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four
I want you to come back in
I got to holler
I said it's in my feet
Feels so sweet
It's in my shake, good God
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
I'm about to blow
I'm about to blow
One, two, three, four
Get it
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky
One, two, three, four

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
No offense, but there are several errors in the lyrics presented here.
