He certainly did earn that reputation.
You have so many opportunities I never had
Don't push so hard nothing is ever easy
And this talent that you take for granted
Its a gift from god
Don't pass tit up
Nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired its just the start
Listen to me son ill take you far
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
But circumstance gets in the way
Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side again,
Gonna get it right
Don't push so hard,
Nothing is ever easy
Don't forget your please and thank you's,
Don't forget to smile
Don't pass this up,
Nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired its just the start
Listen to me son ill take you far (take you far)
You can call it anything you want
The fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends
Pretend that you don't care
But circumstance gets in the way
Their pushing these children for all the wrong reasons
So far man you're crushing down their spirits
Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually eventually
Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually eventually
Seeking seeking,oh one of these one of these
Seeking seeking,oh one of these one of these PATHS
You're wasting time, I call it living
To the world what are you giving
You're wasting time, I call it living
To the world what are you giving
You're wasting time
Don't push so hard nothing is ever easy
And this talent that you take for granted
Its a gift from god
Don't pass tit up
Nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired its just the start
Listen to me son ill take you far
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
But circumstance gets in the way
Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side again,
Gonna get it right
Don't push so hard,
Nothing is ever easy
Don't forget your please and thank you's,
Don't forget to smile
Don't pass this up,
Nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired its just the start
Listen to me son ill take you far (take you far)
You can call it anything you want
The fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
You can lie to yourself and all your friends
Pretend that you don't care
But circumstance gets in the way
Their pushing these children for all the wrong reasons
So far man you're crushing down their spirits
Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually eventually
Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually eventually
Seeking seeking,oh one of these one of these
Seeking seeking,oh one of these one of these PATHS
You're wasting time, I call it living
To the world what are you giving
You're wasting time, I call it living
To the world what are you giving
You're wasting time

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I like this song because it was the first LBC song I heard. now I'm addicted.
