And you're a liar
At least all of your friends are
And so am I
Just typically drowned in my car
It's my party
And I'll cry to the end
You must try harder
Than kissing all of my friends, you
Yeah it takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
And you're alive
At least as far as I can tell you are
And so am I
You beat me down and then we're back to my car
And it's so ironic
How it's only been a year
And it's not my fault
That I've fucked everybody here
Yeah it takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
And I said "Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance
In the bar at the back of the hall?"
And I said "Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance
Dance at the back of the hall?"
Yeah it takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more than you
More, more
Yeah it takes a bit more
Yeah it takes a bit more
It takes a bit more, more
Yeah it takes a bit more, more
Yeah it takes a bit more, more
It takes a bit more
The stray lines
That unwind you
She does little things all right, I say that I've seen
She says meaning's incidental, 'cause she's so cool
She said I'm not a funny, funny boy, oh I
And now she's doing it, hard time
Yeah, she's doing it, hard time
Slow down, yeah, I want you
She does a little beer on the sly
Shows what she's up to
She's not talking about it, she's listening
And while I read your lips, only a couple of lines
And now she's doing it, hard time
Yeah she's doing it, hard time
Yeah she's doing it, hard time
Yeah she's doing it, hard time
Yeah she's doing it, hard time

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/

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.
