Anna's Song [Alternate Version][Instrumental]

Marvin Gaye

This is Anna's song
I'm making love all night long
Take a bath in milk, and lay on your satin sheets
Laughing, smiling (oh, oh)
Lay a while in (oh, oh)
Chocolate mint candy sweets

They're only cross the way (living across the way)
(Living across the way, living across the way)
This is Anna's song (this is Anna's song, this is Anna's song)
Yeah, keep on singing all night long (loving my song, loving my song)

Oh, work so hard, see me making dollars (remember make some money)
I know I should for my own good, what's it, husband
Makes you so stubborn, and, oh
Didn't you notice the snow started to fall?
Come, let us sit a while
Just listen To the children laughing and running wild

Anna
Anna
Anna
Yeah, now this is Anna's song
Hey, baby, hey, baby
Loving you all night long
Let it happen again
And again, and again, baby Anna again
She's a child of the sun, lovingest one of all
Mmm, now this is Anna's song, yeah
Keep on loving me, baby, loving me cross the hall
She can't do no wrong 'cause this is Anna's song
Laugh and chatter to you
Kiss me, Anna dear
Ooh, baby

Hey, Anna, here's your song, yeah
The one that I promised, baby, promised you all along, baby
I knew all the time that I'd find the rhyme
Never have a fear, here it is, my dear

Light Up The Sky
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
