This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams
And the TV is on
It is seeping into me
It is guiding my dreams
It is only three
So it's jeopardy

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.

This is my favorite time
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will.

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to

    She's moved on or is trying to.

    The tune beautifully intertwines with the lyrics. There's a dreamy almost lullaby quality to the song.
    It starts out with a slow, sedate strumming and she slowly, sleepily sings, "This is my favorite disease, I am sleeping in his dreams." When it moves out of the lullaby mode, she speaks decisively about the relationship. He let her down. You see that in, "You can go and burst my tiny bubble. Blow me off without a care." She had a tiny bubble of hope in the relationship, but he glibly ignored her. So, she's going to sleep where she wants.
    She's not going to be heartbroken, she's not going to "carry a torch" for him. She's sleeping with another guy.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
