Just pour me sorrow on the rocks
Bartender, sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double, mhm mhm mhm

The seat of my pants is slick from my barstool
And my hand's in the shape of a glass
My eyes look like a roadmap of georgia
And it's a shame I've lost my class

One broken heart can do strange things
To a fellow who can't take pain
But in this hundred proof condition
I'm in no position to take her back again

So pour me sorrow on the rocks
Bartender, sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double, mhm mhm mhm

Looks like the hair on my head ain't never met a comb
And my face is a bearded mess
My hand shakes slightly and I have to walk lightly
Or I'll weave from right to left

The music on the jukebox don't mean a thing
'Cause I'm too far gone for a song
I sure feel bad 'cause my baby ain't here and
I'm sorry that I done her wrong

So pour me sorrow on the rocks
Bartender, sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double, mhm mhm mhm

So pour me sorrow on the rocks
Bartender, sorrow on the rocks will do
I'm tryin' to drown my troubles
So make it a double, mhm mhm mhm

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
