This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
She's star starcrazy electric shock bog brush hair
Flat on her back in the eighties in the nineties going nowhere
Star star crazy got a kicking transistor inside
A heavy metal stutter that brains me
And an electric love in her eyes
Oh she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
'Cause she's star starcrazy getting stupid on the streets tonight
And shaking like a mechanical thing
With an electric love in her eyes
Oh, she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?
Picnic by the motor way
I'm so sorry to hear about the news
Don't you worry
I'll buy us a bottle and we'll drink in the petrol fumes
I'm so sorry to hear about your world
Don't you worry
There's a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
I'm so sorry to hear the news today
Don't you worry
There's been a speeding disaster so we'll go to the motor way
I'm so sorry to hear about the scene
Don't you worry
Just put on your trainers and get out of it with me
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one
We could go dancing, we could go walking
We could go shopping, we could keep talking
We could go drinking, we could sit thinking
We could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see?
Oh hey
Flat on her back in the eighties in the nineties going nowhere
Star star crazy got a kicking transistor inside
A heavy metal stutter that brains me
And an electric love in her eyes
Oh she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?
'Cause she's star starcrazy getting stupid on the streets tonight
And shaking like a mechanical thing
With an electric love in her eyes
Oh, she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?
Picnic by the motor way
I'm so sorry to hear about the news
Don't you worry
I'll buy us a bottle and we'll drink in the petrol fumes
I'm so sorry to hear about your world
Don't you worry
There's a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
I'm so sorry to hear the news today
Don't you worry
There's been a speeding disaster so we'll go to the motor way
I'm so sorry to hear about the scene
Don't you worry
Just put on your trainers and get out of it with me
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one
We could go dancing, we could go walking
We could go shopping, we could keep talking
We could go drinking, we could sit thinking
We could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see?
Oh hey

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is probably my favourite track on 'Coming Up', a class tune on a class album.
The guitar work is really intoxicating.
The lyrics above are wrong, they're half correct and then half picnic by the motorway.
Anyway. This song for me is about a groupie / wannabe groupie / ex groupie that's only interested in having sex with band members. Not sure how the 'violence' bridge fits in but the rest seems straight forward. Great tune
