(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) stand up and live your life
(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) hands up, hands up high

Hey
Stand up to the devil slowly rising
Clear your throat now
You can cough for their demise
Speak out, don't let the status quo define you
This is your world, just put the fear back in their eyes

There comes a time when you know there's a problem

Rise up, it's a dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together, get yourselves together
(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) stand up and live your life
(Rise) get yourselves together

Wake up, this could be your finest hour
Pick your head up, and get your body off the floor
Hey now, don't be afraid to fight for something
This is your chance, and you can stand for so much more

There comes a time when you know there's a problem

Rise up, it's a dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together
Get yourselves together
Rise

(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) stand up and live your life

Rise up, it's the dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together
Get yourselves together
Rise

(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) stand up and live your life
(Rise) get yourselves together
(Rise) hands up, hands up high

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.

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
