(Tracy, I haven't left this house in years)
(Then isn't it time you did)
(Oh no, Tracy, we'll have your father meet with him)
(I, I don't want to be seen like this)
(The neighbors haven't seen me since I was a size ten)
(Don't make me do it, Tracy)
(Ma, it's changing out there, you'll like it)
(People who are different their time is coming)

Hey mama, hey mama look around
Everybody's groovin' to a brand new sound
Hey mama, hey mama follow me
I know something's in you that you wanna set free

So let so, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the love in your heart
Yes, I know that the world's spinning fast now
You gotta get yourself a brand new start

Hey mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go

Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey mama, hey mama
Have some fun
I haven't left this house since 1951

Hey mama, hey mama
Take a chance

Oh Tracy, it's been years
Since someone asked me to dance

So let go, so, go of the past now
Say hello to the light in your eyes
Yes, I know that the world's
Spinning fast now, but you gotta run the race
To win the prize

Hey mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go

Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go

Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, hey mama
Hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Welcome to the rhythm of a brand new day
Take your old-fashioned fears
And just throw them away

You should add some color and a fresh new do
'Cause it's time for a star
Who looks just like you

(There's my shining star, fantastic to meet you)
(I'm Mr. Pinky)
(It's so nice to meet you)
(Tracey, is this your older sister?)
(Flattery will not distract Ms. Turnblads agent)
(Fifty-four double D)
(Triple E)
(I hit the motherload)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go

Dontcha let nobody
Try to steal your fun
'Cause a little touch of lipstick
Never hurt no one

The future's got a million roads
For you to choose
But you'll walk a little taller
In some high-heel shoes

And once you find the style
That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new

Step on out
Hear us shout

Mama, that's your cue

Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at me
I'm the cutest chickie
That ya ever did see

Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at us
Where is there a team
That's half as fabulous?

I let go, go, go of the past now
Say hello to this red carpet ride
Yes I know that the world's spinning fast now
Tell Lollabrigida to step aside

Your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go

Welcome to the sixties, open the door
For the girl who has more, she's a star
Tracy, go, go, go

Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Your mama's hip (hip), your mama's in (in mama)
Your mama's looking at herself
And wonder where you been? Where you been?

Your mama's lit (lit), she's all aglow (glow mama)
Your mama once was holding back
But mama's gotta let go, go, go

Welcome to the six to the O
To the apostrophe S
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey mama welcome to the sixties
Oh whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Hey mama welcome to the sixties (oh yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama go, go, go

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Go mama, go, go, go

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
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.
