@[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 spread my wings
I tried to fly
I believe in myself
When there was nothing right
And I
I know I am dust
I know we are sand
But we give of ourselves
As best as we can
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
I been lost
And I been found
I made my bed
In this sea of sound
And we have been so high
Been so low
Are you the one
That I need to know
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Into the deep of your ever changing light
Of your ever changing never changing light
Into your light
Into your light
We found love
And we found pain
And I know that you're sinking
'Cause I feel the same
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
I tried to fly
I believe in myself
When there was nothing right
And I
I know I am dust
I know we are sand
But we give of ourselves
As best as we can
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
I been lost
And I been found
I made my bed
In this sea of sound
And we have been so high
Been so low
Are you the one
That I need to know
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Into the deep of your ever changing light
Of your ever changing never changing light
Into your light
Into your light
We found love
And we found pain
And I know that you're sinking
'Cause I feel the same
Why does it always rain
On Mondays
For me
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light
Bodies in motion
Bodies at rest
Got to get inside you
Got to get lost
Jump into the water
Jump into your life
Diving in deep
To your ever changing light

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
DUDE. HOW CAN NOBODY HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS SONG!!!! This is my second faverote bush song, the other being cold contagious. What the fuck!. anyway... i absoultly love this song with a passion. It's just so powerful. the way it takes you on a rollercoaster. Ups and downs. It rocks, then it makes you wanna cry. i think Its' just about the feelings he feels for a girl and everything she puts him through, physical and emotional. And despite everything he wants to always stay friends. Its creepy how i can realte. this song just touches me. Great song. Rocks
This really is a great song. I loved the line 'Your child is on fire'. Don't know what it's supposed to mean.. but it's just a bold lyric!
i love this song. it's one of my favorite bush tracks just b/c of the feeling of the song... sometimes it's so hard to just be friends with someone... b/c a purely platonic relationship btwn. a guy and a girl is so hard to achieve. and this song conveys that. beautiful.
Gavin Rossdale rocks my worlds
He is definately talking on many levels about his sexual relationship w/ a chick. " Hush child - lay your sweet lips on me This greed - bigger than you and me Will you come again " have u ever wanted someone that bad? u cannot control your desire (greed). "Tongue tied and a visceral third degree Feel warm - center of gravity" tongie-tied (french kissing or speechless from your desire) visceral is your vein system-when u get sexually excited your veins swell(down there-men & women) that is how men get a hard-on and "center of gravity" is her g-spot! "wash us all away-body never lies" you can't hide an orgasm. Your body will always give away how you feel. u can't hide your true physical desires and responses to another person. "Will you come again Will we stay friends " ok, he knows they have to be together cause they cannot deny what they feel, but he is worried it will screw everything else up. will they be friends still after they have each other or will it be awkward forever after?" There are times when I wish That I was you Thick skinned- cities you drive me through Better than me - you're a woman " he thinks somehow that he feels more pain than she does, that she can easily put their time together past her, possibly to be w/someone else without looking back or remembering him-thinks somehow, she is stronger (emotionally) b/c she is a woman. He must have had a mother that was there for him emotionally and/or that he saw as being "stonger" emotionally than others in his life. "Seven days and my system is free again We rise - lose it on oblivion Falling away - sorry for the way Your child is on fire Lick these my ruby lips Drop your protein pills " ok-this may be far-fetched, but somehow I think he is talking about a woman's cycle-during certain times the "protein pills"- sperm-is "lost on oblivion"-get shot "out there" to never become anything. Or "lick these my ruby lips" he is going down on her and she cums dropping her protein pills-anyway, in the end he says it is just better to "lose yourself" totally enjoy and give into the moment. The feeling you have after that...the kissing...etc. could never fully be explained even with "pretty words".
This song rocks!
Yeah, I am with highway with this one. Its totally about sex and the feeling of it.
great song
This is one of the most sexual songs ever! I think High Way was closest on this one. Almost 90% of this song could be seen as an allusion to oral sex. I dunno, maybe I just have a dirty mind...but "will you come again"? ;-)
Highway nailed it. Nice work.
