This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The mountain mob is on their way
Downtown with the '208'
To seal this summers fate
Mary's on the city square
She flashes her engagement ring
To anyone who cares
All the poets are blunt tonight
As Bishop's arms gone dry
The lonely lover's just arrived
He's tearing every doorway down
And invites the darkness again
Bridge & Tunnel's out tonight
All dressed up for one last bout
With dreamy eyes, they carry on
As if nothing could breaks their hearts
The streets are slitherin' like a snake
And the shadows are standing guard
Beneath a killer moon
Mary's dancing to the beat
Of the howling mob to Merchant St.
One last retreat
The promise of the southbound train
Fades with every drink
And dies with the rain
Bridge & Tunnel's out tonight
Stomp those high nosed bastards down
In one last fight, today we'll make a new Jerusalem
We'll meet again in cold December
Another night no one remembers
In the distance Mary's singing
"This is my hometown, yeah this is my home til' I die"
Why does the world spin
Why does the sun shine
Why does the world spin
Why does the sun shine
Under the cold light of God's street lamp
He walks alone the original Supertramp
King of the sticks, mayor of madness
It gets us all in the end, in this part of the world
Ol' Rubberfeet, if you could see us now
Five years have passed since your last bike ride
The city's outsourced and the factory's shutting down
Culture's been boiled down to a chorus they all can sing
But they've stopped believin' the words
Ol' Rubberfeet, if you could see us now
Ol' Rubberfeet, we really get you now
In this town the only movement
Is by the driftwood down the river
Let everyone and everything just drown in the dam
And get lost in the deep blue sea
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
To those that didn't matter anyway
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
The chic elite and all the punks meet
Out on the porch, where we're all just rubberfeet
Burning the streets just like a wildfire
You'd better burn all your maps to get out of this trap
Ol' Rubberfeet our home has lost its soul
Ol' Rubberfeet, no heroes in this show
When autumn falls down like a curtain
And all the roads are quite uncertain
The dream postponed just weighs you down
Face it my friend, you are stuck in this lonely town
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
Cheers to all the ones I wished away
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
I heard you're leaving the city, you're heading back north
For years I have waited for you to come home
But my bags they are all packed and I'm closing that door
And the songs I gave you don't mean a thing anymore
But you know that I love you, you know that it's true
You know that I love you, you know that I do
You know that I love you, you know that it's true
You know that I love, you know that I love you
Love you
I'm never leaving, this place is my home
I hope you've sorted your life out, but I guess you're alone
I want to call you, but I'm much too proud
I'll try to catch your face, but you're lost in the crowd
But you know that I love you, you know that it's true
You know that I love you, you know that I do
You know that I love you, you know that it's true
You know that I love, you know that I love you
Love you
Life is but a waiting room
And I guess I'm still waiting there for you
I thought that I was only passing through
From the sunlit hill to the singing valley, I feel you everywhere
Life is but a waiting room
And I guess I'm still waiting there for you
I thought that I was only passing by
Some of us burn in beautiful ways
Some do believe that these are the days
I've wasted these years just looking back
But I've saved my best lines for one final act:
A bitter kiss off to the memories of you
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
And here's to everyone that found their way
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
I close my eyes, I'm home at last
And all of the lost boys are here by my side
I close my eyes, I'm home at last
And all of the lost boys are here by my side
Your love's got me on the run,
But I'm never leaving my hometown
Your love's got me on the run,
But I'm never leaving my hometown.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
