All the people I know want to be left alone
Some people!
I don't know?
They want to leave you alone
You gotta be just, be just like them
Biggest gang I know they call the government
Gang is a weapon
That you trade your mind in for
You gotta be just, be just like them
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me
1%
That makes me
1%
Trouble comes down
Like a foot steppin heavy
Shake your fist
At the bitch
Or wave your money
You gotta be right
You gotta be right
Don't be no
Supper for a big fish
With the big lip
And the over -
Bite, bite

You gotta bite
Bite, bite, bite, da bita
Bite, bite, ba da da bita
Bite, bite, bite, bite
Bite, bite, bite, bite
All the people I know want to be left alone
Some people!
I don't know?
They want to leave you alone!
You gotta be just, be just like them
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me
1%
That makes me
1%
That makes me
1%
That makes me
1%

    I think he's also saying that since the government is the biggest gang of all and since there are all sorts of "gangs"(social groups, political parties, even actual gangs) the world over, and since he doesn't seem(in the song, at least) to belong to or care about any of them, then he(and others like him) make us less than 1% of the world(because the world is mostly or seems to be most about groups).

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
