This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Broken glass and cigarettes
Writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
The one who can't recall
Where she was while she was sleeping
In another woman's bed
Or the doctors or the lawyers
Or a stranger that she met
If there's nothing I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I've heard it all
It was a long time with you
It was a long time with me
It'd be a long time for anyone
But looks like it's meant to be
Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations
To simulate a call
For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws that keep you
Up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of men
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near the man who you gave head
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all
It was a wrong time for you
It was a wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But looks like I'm about to see for myself
If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone
Lonely tear drops
Ooh, are calling you
But I don't wanna know it now
'Cause knowing you, it won't change a damn thing
But there was a time
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
Oh
I would do anything for you
There was a time
I would do anything for you
I would do anything for you
There was a time
There was a time
Oh, I would do anything for you
Oh, I would do anything for you
Yeah there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
I would do anything for you (didn't wanna know, at all)
(Didn't wanna know, at all, and I don't wanna know it now)
There was a time, was a time
Writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
The one who can't recall
Where she was while she was sleeping
In another woman's bed
Or the doctors or the lawyers
Or a stranger that she met
If there's nothing I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I've heard it all
It was a long time with you
It was a long time with me
It'd be a long time for anyone
But looks like it's meant to be
Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations
To simulate a call
For the betterment of evils and your ways around the laws that keep you
Up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of men
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near the man who you gave head
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all
It was a wrong time for you
It was a wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But looks like I'm about to see for myself
If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone
Lonely tear drops
Ooh, are calling you
But I don't wanna know it now
'Cause knowing you, it won't change a damn thing
But there was a time
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all
I don't wanna know it now
Oh
I would do anything for you
There was a time
I would do anything for you
I would do anything for you
There was a time
There was a time
Oh, I would do anything for you
Oh, I would do anything for you
Yeah there was a time

Didn't wanna know at all

(Didn't wanna know, at all, and I don't wanna know it now)
There was a time, was a time

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
