She's roaring like her 20's,
Like there ain't no tomorrow.
Living in the past,
Makes yeaterday seem modern.
Fascinating culture,
Creeping up like ivy.
Throw away the structure,
Your enemy's need sympathy.

I just want to live in luxury,
With all those diamonds danglin over me.
Take me from this poverty,
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.

Smokin' like a sinner,
She isn't a begginer.
She gets into a pintowm,
And drives back to vancouver.
She lives with her mother,
Try's to be a sister.
It really doesn't matter,
'Cause a dream is everything.

I just want to live in luxury,
With all those diamonds danglin over me.
Take me from this poverty,
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.

Step into this speakeasy,
Where you can be who you want to be.
There's no trouble here just speak to me,
And I closed my eyes and dreamed we were all in the money.

I just want to live in luxury,
With all those diamonds dangling over me.
Take me from this poverty,
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.

I just want to live in luxury,
With all those diamonds dangling over me.
Take me from this poverty,
When I closed my eyes I dreamed that we were all in the money.

Dreamed that we were all in the money.

All in the money.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
