Hey girls, you better listen to me
I'm getting starved for your company
All day Monday, and all day Tuesday
I played football, there's nothing on the telly

Ever since I was just 13 years old
Well, I always felt shy but I acted so bold
I never had the money and I never had the class
But I always seemed to get myself a Saturday night piece of ass

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go

Saturday morning and you can see me at the pub
And I'm pissing away me money and I can't stand up
Cab fare, pop, you look silly in the road
Get in everybody, where the boys all go

Hey never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from me

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, stand around and grope
Where the boys all go, showing off their clothes
Where the boys go, down the disco
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go

Hey girls, what you doin' tonight?
Now do you want to dance, or do you want to bite?
Look here, darlin', I know the score
Paint your face, dye your hair, I'll see you round the back

Hey never keep a secret from you
Never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from you

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, for a giggle and a laugh
Where the boys go, and a little piece of ass
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of this
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of that
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of stick
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of cunt
Where the boys all go, where the girls are now

Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go

    After reading the lyrics, this song sounds like the Stones incorporating both Disco and Punk into pop culture at the time. Jagger mentions "at the disco", and tells a girl to dye her hair and paint her face, a strong facet of punk music back in 1980. Both Some Girls and Emotional Rescue remind me of New York City.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
