new plague, getting paid, everyone is guilty
Taxes on the lotto, waters gotten filthy
Psychos, weirdos, percocet and morphine
Little imperfections cost us all!
Cost us all!
I saw a mille filled with frightened people!
Crashing down, into a ball of flames!
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S ALMOST OVER!!
SOMEONE TELL THEM IT'S ALMOST OVER!!
Slave camps, last dance, billion dollar mishaps!?!
Bombshells, nitor, anything that you can throw!
Housewives, onion rings, A.O.L. and crashing planes!
Second rate therapy... Everybody's crazy!
I saw a black cloud above the forest!
Wiping clean till nothing else remained!!!
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S ALMOST OVER!
SOMEONE TELL THEM IT'S ALMOST OVER!!!!!
Monstrous, what we've become! Space waste ! Brain dumb!
Nostradomus... Prophecies! Welfare!! ENEMYS!!!! ENEMYS!!!! ENEMYS!!!!

    I agree. It specifically talks about suicide bombers in "I saw a missile filled with frightened people crashing down into a ball of flames." Great song, great band.

    the songs is about the prophecies of nostradomus, the main one in witch is that the world would end in (is it 2012 or 2020? dont remember...) that hints the chorus ...this song could have really been written much better....maybe its just some of the lyrics are wrong..or maybe its just this horribly written..atleast it sounds good..

    First off, I've been coming to this site for years, and I signed up JUST NOW so that i could comment this.. i've been a motograter fan for at least 6 years, I've never trash talked anything online, and i don't plan on it, but i'm bored, so BUG OFF! :D

    Secondly, whoever posted the lyrics did a horrible job at it. Not only do typos bug the crap out of me, but the last line is "Nostradomus... Prophecies! WARFARE!! ENEMYS!!!!" And you left the entire part about "makes me sick to know that it's your fault makes me sick to know that it's you makes me sick to know that it's your fault makes me sick it makes me ill" (which COULD be an anti george bush thing..)

    And thirdly, @poopytheclown, you were goin in the right direction, and yes, some of the lyrics are wrong, but Nostradamus was said to have predicted 9/11 which is supposed to be the beginning of the end of the world hence the "i saw a missle filled with frightened people" thing.. 2012 is something completely different involving the mayan calendar..

    This song definitely goes deeper then just 9/11 and the end of the world.. As i previously mentioned the George Bush thing, I believe it also has to do with what's wrong with the world, and the outcome that we're pushing ourselves into..

    "New plague, getting paid, everyone is guilty Taxes on the lotto, waters gotten filthy Psychos, weirdos, percocet and morphine Little imperfections cost us all!"

    In "cost(ing) us all" i think he's speaking of the arrogance and ignorance we americans are guilty of.. That's why so many countrys hate us.. You know what.. nevermind... I'll just explain it as "cause and effect" We fucked up, and the worlds going to shit. The end.

    Now i regret making this account. Goodbye!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
