its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Say you'll be there!
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
Last time, that we had this conversation,
I decided we should be friends...hey!
But now, we're going round in circles,
Tell me will this deja vu never end...oh!
Now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
Well I never ever thought that would be...eh!
This time, you gotta take it easy,
Throwing far too much emotions at me!
But any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand.
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
I give you everything
And, all that I want from you
Is the promise you, will be there
Say you will be there...yeah!
Oow! Say you will be there!
Won't you sing it with me?
If you, put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for...oh!
If you, can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me,
It would be better left unsaid
I'm (I'm)
Giving you everything (I give you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And (and)
All that I want from you (all I want from you)
Is the promise you (is the promise you)
Will be there
Yeah! I want you!
Any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand
I'll give you everything on this I swear,
Just promise you'll always be there!
I'm, giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And, all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is the promise you (want you to promise too)
Will be there (always be there)

Corpse I Fell In Love With

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
