You little creep, That's what she said, these quotes from your mother, get better every day.
And you'll be nothing, just like your father, at least that's what the kids at school say.

And Jamie spent her Christmas at the Airport, She said planes made her feel like she could get away. And I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport...Someday...Cause somedays are just so hard

And we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
We dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die"
And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call
And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full
And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time
And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line.
(And you don't seem to mind)

And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer, knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around. And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. And it seems to me that we'd been here before

Where were you when I was at the airport,
where were you when i wanted to fly
Tell me where you were when i was at the airport, these planes fall from the sky.

And I wish I had an airport, somedays
Cause some days are just so hard.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
