(SPOKEN)
DORIS: Gee, I'm glad you came over tonight
FRANK: Yeah! It'll be nice riding with the top down
DORIS: Oh, but I've spent the afternoon fixing my hair
FRANK: Oh, Oh!
DORIS: How about a movie, huh?
FRANK: No, it's too late for that, they'll be sold out of popcorn.
Say, I know!
FRANK:
Let's take an old fashioned walk
I'm just bursting with talk
What a tale could be told
If we went for an old fashioned walk
DORIS:
Let's take a stroll through the park
Down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled
May relax on an old fashioned walk
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
FRANK:
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
BOTH:
I know a girl who declined
Couldn't make up her mind
FRANK:
She was wrapped up and sold
DORIS:
Coming home
BOTH:
From an old fashioned walk
DORIS:
Some couples go for a buggy ride
When they start caring a lot
FRANK:
Others will bicycle side by side
Way out to some romantic spot
(But when you haven't a sou)
(There's only one thing to do)
BOTH:
Let's take an old fashioned walk
I'm just bursting with talk
FRANK:
What a tale could be told
DORIS:
If we went for
BOTH:
An old fashioned walk
BOTH:
Let's take a stroll through the park
Down a lane where it's dark
FRANK:
And a heart that's controlled
DORIS:
Can relax on
BOTH:
An old fashioned walk
DORIS:
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
FRANK:
There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart
(Walking and talking)
BOTH:
I know a girl who declined
Couldn't make up her mind
FRANK:
She was wrapped up and sold
DORIS:
Coming home from
BOTH:
An old fashioned walk
FRANK:
If your girl has declined
DORIS:
And won't make up her mind
BOTH:
What you need is a heart-to-heart talk
DORIS:
Take a stroll through the park
FRANK:
Down a lane where it's dark
BOTH:
And go for an old fashioned walk
DORIS: Gee, I'm glad you came over tonight

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
