Wouldn't it be great
If no one ever got offended
Wouldn't it be great
To say what's really on your mind
I've always said
That all the rules are made for bending
And if I let my hair down
Would that be such a crime

[Chorus]
I want to be
Consequence free
I want to be
Where nothing needs to matter
I want to be
Consequence free
Just sing
Nananananananana
Oh, nananananananana

I could really use
To lose my Catholic conscience
Cause I'm getting sick
Of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it
Yeah, I've got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy
But not the hurting kind

[Chorus]

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind
But you know it's not that easy
Oh, for just one night

Wouldn't it be great
If the band just never ended
We could stay out late
And we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry
About approval or permission
We could slip off the edge
And never worry about the fall

[Chorus]

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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
