How do rumors get started?
They're started by the jealous people and
They get mad about somethin' they had
And somebody else is holdin'
They tell me that temptation
Is very hard to resist
These wicked women
Oohh they just persist
Maybe you think it's cute
But girl I'm not impressed
I tell you one time only
With my business please don't mess with you

Look at all these rumors
Running me everyday
I just need some time
Some time to get away from
From all these rumors
I can't take it no more
My best friend say did you
Hear the one about me
And the girl next door?

Did you hear the one about Susan?
Some say she's much too loose
That came straight from a guy
Who claims he's tastin' her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael?
Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue but they said
If he were straight he wouldn't move that way
Did you hear the one about Susan?
Some say she's just a tease
In a 'camosal' she's six feet tall
She'll knock you to you knees

Look at all these rumors
Running me everyday
I just need some time
Some time to get away from
From all these rumors
I can't take it no more
My best friend say did you
Hear the one about me
And the girl next door?

I can't go no place
Without somebody pointin' a finger
I can't show my face 'cause
When it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer

I'll think I'll write my congressman
And tell him to pass a bill
The next time they catch somebody
Started rumors, shoot to kill

Look at all these rumors
Running me everyday
I just need some time
Some time to get away from
From all these rumors
I can't take it no more
My best friend say did you
Hear the one about me
And the girl next door?

Look at all these rumors
Running me everyday
I just need some time
Some time to get away from
From all these rumors
I can't take it no more
My best friend say did you
Hear the one about me
And the girl next door?

Look at all these rumors
Running me everyday
I just need some time
Some time to get away from
From all these rumors
I can't take it no more
My best friend say did you
Hear the one about me
And the girl next door?

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
