Aw yeah

Oh, them old St. Louis Blues

Listen here, all you 'round her (uh-huh)
You better leave my good gal alone
(What in the world are you talkin' about, boy?)
Listen here, all you 'round her (yes?)
You better leave my good gal alone
(You said that once, why?)
'Cause you can't give her nothin'
She can't get at home
(I sense a little ego in that, my boy, yeah)

(Aw, Billy, well, alright my boy)
(I know, you didn't come to stand, you've come to play, well, let's play)

Woke up this morning
'Tween midnight and day
(I bet you hadn't even gone to bed yet)
Woke up this morning
'Tween midnight and day
(What in the world was wrong, boy?)
You oughta see my grab that pillow
Where my sweet baby used to lay
(Aw, sing it out, boy, sing it out, yeah)

Doggone it
(Doggone what?)
Doggone it a gal, too
(What in the world has she done to you?)
She done pulled out, left me F-L-A-T, flat
That's spells flat, alright
Man, I don't care though
You don't care? (No sir)
How come?
I don't like this tall about blonde hair know-how
Well, what kind of hair do you like?
I'm a man that's crazy about black hair
Tell me more, boy, tell me more
So St. Louis Blues, be on your way (yeah)
'Cause a black headed women make a freight train a-jump the track
All aboard
I said a black headed women a-make a freight train a-jump the track
Bye, Mabel
Quit your daydreamin', boy, cut that out
But a long, tall gal
A-make a bullfrog 'pologize

St. Louie Blues

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
