Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

The Smiths

From the ice-age to the dole-age
There is but one concern
I have just discovered

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers

As Anthony said to Cleopatra
As he opened a crate of ale

Oh, I say
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers

Send me the pillow
The one that you dream on
Send me the pillow
The one that you dream on
And I'll send you mine

    It's referring specifically to women's breast sizes. The last lines are from the song "Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On", the Cleopatra scene was most likely inspired by "Carry On Cleo".

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.

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,

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.
