Mary-Anne's my favorite girl
but she's living in her Hollywood world
her daddy owns a 4-star hotel
mommy owns another

Saturdays she's never around
'cause she's at the hippest party in town
and she tells me that she's settling down
so I'm waiting, waiting, waiting

she tells me to let it go but I'm the one who let her in

Mary-Anne shows up wasted at my door
Mary-Anne takes my bed, leaves me the floor
Mary-Anne, you're such a whore
Mary-Anne

Met her at a rock n roll show
she was diggin' on some rum and some coke
she told me she was ready to go
take it or leave it (I couldn't believe it!)

Mary-Anne says love at first sight
shouldn't be confused with spending a night
but she'll come 'round when the timing is right
so I'm waiting, waiting, waiting

she tells me to let it go but I'm the one who let her in
and I don't wanna be a sad, weak , frail, meek, love-struck geek who's
waiting up for her again

    Besides the obvious tackiness of it, this song's ridiculously catchy and tight.

    this song is very catchy but I love it. it reminds me of paris hilton..."but she's living in her Hollywood world her daddy owns a 4-star hotel mommy owns another" i also heard about it from purevolume.com there are so many freakin ads for him so i figure why not listen and I was impressed

    This song is great! The first song I heard from him about 2 years ago and I still love it.

    It's about that girl (or guy for the ladies) that we've all had in our lives at one time or another. You love them to death and really wish you could get together but they only give you the time of day when its convientient for them. And they use you again and again.

    great song..great artist. the fact that hes so unknown makes my sick. artists like rihanna or james blunt and shit are so fukin popular but suck ass. my frend introduced me to adam. shes a big fan of the band common rotation which is also very obscure, and anyway they wer performing at the point in nj, which closed down, and adam richman opened up for them. she automatically loved him and bought his albums which she burned for me. luv him

    i heard of adam richman about a year ago thruogh my brother, then i saw him live at the flipside festival in VA. i haddd to keep listening after that =)

    this song is wonderfulooza and really catchy. its pretty straight-foward, so anyone can basically understand the meaning.

    i agree with riley826. he is a really great artist and no one knows who he is. just give him a few more years =)

    The song is infectuously catchy, but I absolutely loathe the sophomoric line "you're such a whore". He could have done better with that lyric

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
