Ladies and gentlemen
The toast of the '80s
The Weather Girls

Success
We've got success
Won't settle for less
We've got it all
Always on call
And we're having a ball

The men are banging at our backstage door
They ain't seen glamour quite like this before
They wait in line just to wine us and dine us
We know the score, we want more

Success
We've got success
Who would have guessed
We'd reach the top
The cream of the crop
And nothing's gonna make us stop

They send us diamonds, send us limousines
They try to lure us into intimate scenes
Nothing comes between us and our Calvin Klein jeans
Halston, Vogue, Kamali too
Watch these fashion queens come through

Success
We've got success (We've got success)
Won't settle for less
We've got it all
We've got it all
And we're having a ball
And we're having a ball

Playboy offered us our weight in gold
They'd better add some pages to the centerfold
'Cause we're the biggest
We're the best
Most beautiful, glamorous
Fabulous girls in the world

We've got success
We've got success

All aboard
Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, LA
Toledo and Chicago, Philadelphia, PA
Miami, Alabammy, down to New Orleans
Brooklyn and the Bronx, Fire Island and Queens
New York, it's a wonderful town (New York, New York)
What a wonderful town (I love New York)

Radio City Music Hall
Studio 54
The Palace
The Anvil

Round and around and around we go
Where we'll stop, nobody knows
Hamburg (ooh), Frankfurt (ah), Chile (uh huh), Nice (you don't say)
Turkey (maybe), Bologna (sounds good), Pisa (yeah), Greece (yeah)

We played a party down in Zanzibar
I tried to barbecue the caviar
It's tough to be a legend and a superstar
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen nothin' yet

Success (We've got success)
We've got success (We've got success)
What does it mean (What does it mean?)
When you can't find the right marine? (Yeah)

Success, we've got success
We've got success
Won't settle for less
We've got it all (We've got it all)
We're having a ball (And we're having a ball)
And we won't stop 'til we reach the top

We'd like to thank the public for making us stars
Especially the boys in the back room bars
'Cause we're the biggest
We're the best, we're the best
Most beautiful, glamorous
Fabulous girls
In the world

Success
We've got success
We've got success
(We've got success)
We've got success

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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,

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/

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.
