Cold fire
It's such a cold fire
It's a cold fire
It's a cold fire
It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, "Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far"
I said, "If love is so transcendent
I don't understand these boundaries"
She said, "Just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are"
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles
She said, "Sure, I'll be your partner
But don't make too many demands"
I said, "If love has these conditions
I don't understand those songs you love"
She said, "This is not a love song
This isn't fantasyland"
Don't go too far
A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire
Don't cross the line
The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire
Don't let me down
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
Don't break the spell
The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
Don't go too far
A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire
Don't cross the line
The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire
Don't let me down
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
Don't break the spell
The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
It's a cold fire
Love is blind if you are gentle
It's such a cold fire
It's a cold fire
Love can turn to a long, cold burn
It's such a cold fire
It's such a cold fire
It's a cold fire
It's a cold fire
It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, "Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far"
I said, "If love is so transcendent
I don't understand these boundaries"
She said, "Just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are"
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down

I'll be around
If you don't push me down

It's such a cold fire
It's a cold fire
Love can turn to a long, cold burn
It's such a cold fire

Holiday

@[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.
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,

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.
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.
We all have this iniate desire for to be loved unconditional and as we stumble through life we find out how difficult it is to find .True love has to be tended to with forgivness and understanding ie...Bravado
(...And if love remains Though everything is lost We will pay the price, But we will not count the cost)
.....Ghost of a chance
(BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S A GHOST OF A CHANCE TO FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE AND MAKE IT LAST )
and finally (more could be given ).......Everyday Glory
(If the future's looking dark We're the ones who have to shine If there's no one in control We're the ones who draw the line Though we live in trying times-- We're the ones who have to try Though we know that time has wings-- We're the ones who have to fly)
