I never been to London
You never been to Spain
I never been to war, you never been to prison
But we never been the same

After all is said and done
There was so much more to relate
Now the world will never know just what it lost that day

Give me some hotdamn, give me some birdman, give me some Proud Mary
The one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mix tape, give me those school days,
Give me some hard cider the one we did not mean to make

I was never beaten down like you were
I got to grow up in your wake
Momma always protected you, and dad was my ticket away

And after all that was said and done
There was so much more to relate
Now the world will never know just what it lost that day

Give me some hotdamn, give me some birdman, give me some Proud Mary
The one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mix tape, give me those school days,
Give me some hard cider the one we did not mean to make

In prison there was more drugs than i ever seen
And they let me stay out all night and trip the starlight til my soul was clean
And when i got out, I began my journey to the east
As they were filling you up with pills

Give me some hotdamn, give me some birdman, give me some Proud Mary
The one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that mix tape, give me those school days,
Give me some hard cider the one we did not mean to make

Give me that long skate, give me that heartache
Give me some Proud Mary the one with Claudia Lennear
Give me that penalty kill, give me some big chill
You be Dignan Redding, i’ll be Atticus Cobain

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
