"A well"
"Oh yeah?"
"Went down ten feet, got a JCB from the road, yeah
'Cause my little one wouldn't reach
Dug it out, after ten or fifteen minutes
He went back to the hole to check the height, full of water
Must have come from the river, eh?"
"Dunno, someone must have pissed in it"
"Say well, it's a fucking big piss, somebody did"
"Something you were doing down the bottom"
"Trying to feed it through the ground, it's like a well
About three feet deep
So I, that's right, fucking John shit himself
There was soil, it's like quicksand
He went down there to spread the fucking soil
And he's sinking in, isn't he
He suddenly reached for the fucking fork lift
And I lifted up he couldn't reach it, he was shitting himself
He was just going by the at the end of the boots
He said, "I'm fucking going, I'm going! Just lower the fucking forklift quick!"
And he grabbed hold of it, so I had to lift him up with him hanging on the end of it
Good job he didn't let go, otherwise right in the fucking mud!"

Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local MP
He's a Maltese man and he's mowing the lawn my way
Roll over Vic Vella, give me more bales of hay

Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you mow that lawn my way

Early in the morning I'm giving you a warning
Don't you step on my tractor blades
Hey devil, devil, he's on the fiddle
And he ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Vic Vella, tell the tax man the bad news

Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella (say godamn)
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you tell the tax man the news, yeah

You want to buy a truck and need a new VCR
Vic he gonna say he knows where they are
Roll over Vic Vella, I see that panda-car (woo, woo, woo, woo, woo)

Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play those games with me

Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play those games with me

Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play that game with me

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
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.
