Tú me pides que te deje ahora ahora
Ahora cuando más te necesito
Tú me dices que este amor se fue al olvido ahora
Ahora cuando yo ya no te olvido
Tú me pides que seamos solo amigos amigos
Y a mí no me interesa ser tu amigo
Tú me dices que este amor ha sido en vano
Que malo que dices eso, pero que bueno que se acabo

Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!
Tú me pides que regrese ahora ahora
Y ahora es a mí a quien no le importas
Tú me pides que seamos más que amigos amigos
Y amigos para qué si no hay cariño
Hoy por fin me he dado cuenta de tu engaño
De tu mala calaña y tanto mal que me hiciste tú

Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente
Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!
Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!

Mala gente
Mala gente
Mala gente
Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!

    I always took this to mean "Bad Company" and not "Bad People" though I agree that its deifnitely about a woman who hurt him badly, somene who laughed at his feelings and whom he now holds nothing but contempt for

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
