Listen up you bastard
I'm on to your game
This is the last time that I will speak your name
You always put yourself first and thought of nobody else
She always gave you everything
Got nothing for herself

Prey on the weakness
Taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness
I will never forget

There is no way that you can hide
I will not be denied
I will deliver pain
When our two worlds collide

Did you think for a second that I got nothing to say
You better sit your ass down so I can ruin your day
You've cheated for the last time and now it's come to a halt
Repent for your transgressions and admit it's all your fault

Prey on the weakness
Taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness
I will never forget

There is no way that you can hide
I will not be denied
I will deliver pain

Coward, blind man
Look at me when I'm talking to you
Coward, blind man
Can't you see
Your time is through

Listen up you bastard
We're on to your game
Before the day is over
You will remember my name
She don't need your bullshit and we don't need your lies
She's better off without you
We see through your disguise

Prey on the weakness
Taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness
I will never forget

There is no way that you can hide
I will not be denied
I will deliver pain
When our two worlds collide
(x2)

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,

Punchline

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
