This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Moving fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Get down
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Moving fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Get down

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is about a fan who was going to their concert in Detroit but he was drinking and driving and he crashed and passed away so it is sort of a lament to this fan
Philadelphia Eagles ok its youre opinion ,KISS are classical along with the sex pistols , acdc ,black sabbath, cream ,the cramps etc. i suppose compared to the music now kiss aren't as good but it doesn't mean they aren't awsome not compared. peter criss is not a bad drummer, and i like paul stanley's voice also in my opinion out of the whole kninghts is satans service i think paul's (star child)and ace's (space-ace)make up is the best.. did you know gene simmons acted in "The New Guy" i found that interesting.. it doesn't even look like himself from the good days.Also the movie was soo great... the bass player in the movie is so awsome aswell as the song they play at the start "rock n roll all nite". (Youre clothes say stella but youre eyes say rock n roll) anyway good band great movie

Oh god... gene simmons is the biggest dickhead ever. And all of you who listen to this shitty band should drop dead. Seriously... hate that guy. Greedy bastard. why doesn't someone kill him...? fuck you very much. have a nice day. bye bye...
Oh, but I do think the movie is funny. I saw it once... But that was before I knew what kinda of egoistic, self-centered cunt simmons is. I seriously think he needs to die.
And people like us comment the songs we don't like, because we think it's so much fun to make people like you whine about it ;)
By the way, persons tongue is a crappy reason to idolize someone. I wish I could cut the damn thing off. maybe at least then he would shut up.
That simmons guy is a self centered ego mainiac that is nothing but a fake. He is a loser. He is a dick, don't you guys realise how stupid he is, he is just another man trying to make money (by taking away yours) so he can have the fancy cars not you. Somebody must go kill that guy. I hate their stupid face paint and outfits, they look like gothic little clowns with big tounges. Stupid clowns.
guess what, you haters can go ahead and hate kiss, but you dont hate the music, you hate everything they stand for. sit your butts down and listen to some of their music. they have AMAZING tunes. so shut up.
and yes, KISS are a classic RnR band, so shut up, again :)
I've been to three KISS shows and they always played this song. It's was written for one of their fan who died in a crash while heading to their show. Beautiful sad song.
based on a true story of a kid goin to a kiss concert.....the beginning part tells the rest
