Everything she sees, she says she wants
Everything she wants, I see she gets
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns, I bought her
Everything she owns
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she knows, I taught her
Everything she knows
Everything I say, she takes to heart
Everything she takes, she takes apart
That's my daughter in the water
Every time she fell, I caught her
Every time she fell
And that's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time
Every time she blinks, she'd strike somebody blind
Everything she thinks blows her tiny mind
That's my daughter in the water
Who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?
That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time
Everything she wants, I see she gets
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns, I bought her
Everything she owns
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she knows, I taught her
Everything she knows
Everything I say, she takes to heart
Everything she takes, she takes apart
That's my daughter in the water
Every time she fell, I caught her
Every time she fell
And that's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time
Every time she blinks, she'd strike somebody blind
Everything she thinks blows her tiny mind
That's my daughter in the water
Who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?
That's my daughter in the water
I lost every time I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
just having a baby in a few months and thinking how lucky musicians are to be able to write music for and about their children. i may have to try, because what is more bueatiful than a father singing to his daughter?
At songfacts dot com, in the course of an interview with Loudon Wainwright III, there's this little mini-interview with Peter Belgvad about "Daughter." Quotes: Peter told us the story of "Daughter":
As everyone knows, a parent's love for their child is partly narcissism. My daughter, Kaye, was 3 when I wrote the song - long enough for me to have recognized this fact in myself and seen it manifested in the behavior of other parents. It's natural, maybe even a crucial element, but the narcissism has to be watched, obviously. (Think of Dr. Evil and Mini-Me in Austin Powers). The comedy of all that amused me, and I didn't think anyone had treated that in a song before. I was vaguely thinking of Stevie Wonder singing "Isn't She Lovely" and Frank Sinatra singing "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)" and I wanted to write something that would express that kind of love honestly but also hint at the complexities which come with that role and responsibility.
The chord sequence is uplifting, but "Daughter" is maybe more sardonic than I think some people realize. It's about unconditional commitment to the task of raising a child, but it's also about the vanity and narcissism of the parent.
sorrryy if i got like one or two lyrics wrong. i had to listen to this, there are no lyrics online.
it's obviously about a father's unconditional love for his little girl.
every time i listen to this song i can't help but tear up. i'm a total daddy's girl.
every time i hear this song it makes me wanna be a dad, he sounds so proud of his little girl and i can't wait to feel that. Loved it at the end of 'Knoked Up'
I love this song. It is the perfect expression of a father's love for his child. Perfect at the end of knocked up!
I have a 1-year-old daughter who I love more than words. I love her so much, in fact, that every time I have the misfortune to hear this song, I want to rip her ears off and pour acid into her eustachian tubes so I can save her from the miserable experience of listening to this crap.
I have never heard a song trying so hard to be effusive and trying to do it with a proliferation of ridiculous rhymes crammed in ever crevice. Rufus is undoubtedly embarrassed of his hack father.
