I can love a man dead
I can love a man dead
She can love a man dead
She can love a man dead

There is a dark horse living in my hood
I’m sure you’ve walked past him changing your mood
He is a slow worker, down in every detail
He is a chameleon always blending in

That’s what his girls are - fuel on his engine
A carnivore, hate him like you never loved someone before
Makes his shadow soak up your sunshine
He will get you in his car and then he locks the door

No need, no need to run
Throw in the towels, drop your gun
My heart is my only weapon
I can love a man dead
No need, no need to hide
Throw in the towels, stop the fight
My heart is my only weapon
I can love a man dead

I can love a man dead
I can love a man dead
She can love a man dead
She can love a man dead

Now he is scouting walking round the block
What kinda sad people, people do that
He had a baby sister
Didn’t know much about her
But the way you look at him
Makes him feel she is living

Now he’s a stray dog
I’m the bone who can make him feel at home
A loner, doesn’t know what it means when you say no
Tears taught him everything you love, you will lose
He is making up his truth in a web of disillusions

I can love a man dead
I can love a man dead
She can love a man dead
She can love a man dead

We were taught and raised to believe that man is kind
But love has many faces and some of them are blind

I can love a man dead
I can love a man dead
She can love a man dead
She can love a man dead

We’re born, we’re raised to believe
Human is kind
We’re young, we’re free to believe
Strong in our minds

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
