Love Is A Never Ending War (D. Blackwell)
Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
To the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
And I woke to crack of a paper sack
And a cork poppin' from a bottle
I tell you son the old man said
It was hell in world war two
As he rolled up his pant leg
I saw the wood that filled his shoe
The younger man who followed him in opened up his vest
Showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest
Both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through
Well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue
Chorus:
Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
And we'll train for what's in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
Oh love is a never ending war
They where half-way through that bottle
And they where gettin' high
I never fought in those two wars
But Lord my throat was dry
So I showed them scars and stitches
Inflicted by Maria
But I didn't think that would give me a drink
So I blamed it on Korea
I parted my hair and I showed them where
I got shrapnel from a grenade
I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle
Put a glas of lemonade
How that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonet
And I never forget that hot August night
And the fingernails of Jeanet
Chorus
As I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyes
Partly from the drinkin' but mostly from my lies
And they stood up to salute me
As I stepped down from the bus
And out of the open window they yelled
Give her hell for us
Chorus
Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
To the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
And I woke to crack of a paper sack
And a cork poppin' from a bottle
I tell you son the old man said
It was hell in world war two
As he rolled up his pant leg
I saw the wood that filled his shoe
The younger man who followed him in opened up his vest
Showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest
Both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through
Well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue
Chorus:
Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
And we'll train for what's in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
Oh love is a never ending war
They where half-way through that bottle
And they where gettin' high
I never fought in those two wars
But Lord my throat was dry
So I showed them scars and stitches
Inflicted by Maria
But I didn't think that would give me a drink
So I blamed it on Korea
I parted my hair and I showed them where
I got shrapnel from a grenade
I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle
Put a glas of lemonade
How that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonet
And I never forget that hot August night
And the fingernails of Jeanet
Chorus
As I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyes
Partly from the drinkin' but mostly from my lies
And they stood up to salute me
As I stepped down from the bus
And out of the open window they yelled
Give her hell for us

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

@[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.
