I'm not the billionaire class
From San Lorenzo with the trailer trash
I can't afford a fucking thing in sight
Something about this state is just so right
San Francisco, give me your money
Drug-crazed, road-rage, don't ya act funny
I wanna smoke till I'm Oakland high
And drop some acid in the Barstow night
Sacramento, marching downtown
Mendocino, beer me down

Cut me open leave me splayed (stitch me back together)
California's bleeding me (blame it on the weather)
Sail me down the river
Temper like a trigger
Take a shot of vodka, blow out my liver
California's bleeding me

Don't give a fuck if I'm banned
The fucking rodents down at Disneyland
Highway 5 down to 99
I'm getting head near the Fresno sign
Berryessa, stumbling and stammered
East Bay Tramps out drinking and hammered
And Hollywood's giving me the bends
'Cause in LA you ain't got no friends
Fremont meth-head getting me wired
Start a riot, light a fire

Cut me open leave me splayed (stitch me back together)
California's bleeding me (blame it on the weather)
Sail me down the river
Temper like a trigger
Watch your back, here come the gold diggers
California's bleeding me, and I don't care tonight

We're going west
Like rats we come to infest
We never rest
Feed on the fucking stress

Cut me open leave me splayed... stitch me back together
California's bleeding me (blame it on the weather)
Sail me down the river
Temper like a trigger
Take some shots and blow out my liver
California's bleeding me, and I don't care tonight

And you won't go home
'Cause we welcome all
Golden State brings home the gold

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
