Rocket collecting dust
Hidden from all memory
Bathed in outrage and rust
Waiting for you and me
To own it
Watch you as you douse the ceiling
Light up all the evil dreams
Till they ignite screaming into the night
And we run away clean
[CHORUS]
I wish I was half electronic
The last shreds of skin are in the sweet sunlight
And I've turned into this smiling, snarling monster
As I watch the walls descend
As I watch the walls descend like stars
Half submersed
I reach your island at night
Washed up tangled on these stones
A gorgeous wreck crashing
To lay here for the next 600 years
The storm will play out there for miles on every side
So tell me who's got the dominoes
But you'll have to leave your lightning outside
[CHORUS]
The weeds reach the top of the trees
Hidden from all memory
Bathed in outrage and rust
Waiting for you and me
To own it
Watch you as you douse the ceiling
Light up all the evil dreams
Till they ignite screaming into the night
And we run away clean
[CHORUS]
I wish I was half electronic
The last shreds of skin are in the sweet sunlight
And I've turned into this smiling, snarling monster
As I watch the walls descend
As I watch the walls descend like stars
Half submersed
I reach your island at night
Washed up tangled on these stones
A gorgeous wreck crashing
To lay here for the next 600 years
The storm will play out there for miles on every side
So tell me who's got the dominoes
But you'll have to leave your lightning outside
[CHORUS]
The weeds reach the top of the trees

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
A german translation. I thought it was easier to understand for me, translated:
Deutsche Ãœbersetzung:
Raketen sammelnder Staub [sic: Weltall], Verborgen vor all der Erinnerung, Gewaschen in Aufregung und Rost. Wartet auf dich und mich, Ihn zu besitzen. Beobachtet dich, wie du in den Himmel eintauchst. Dabei erhellen sich all deine bösen Träume, Bis sie schreiend sich entzünden, In die Nacht hinein. Und wir gereinigt entfliehen.
[chorus:] Ich wünschte ich wäre halb elektronisch. Die letzten Fetzen Haut sind im süßen Sonnenlicht. Und ich wurde zu diesem lachenden, knurrenden Monster, Als ich zu sah, wie die Mauern fielen, Als ich zu sah, wie die Mauern fielen, wie Sterne.
Zur Hälfte gesunken, erreiche ich deine Insel in der Nacht. Angespült, verwirrt an diesen Steinen. Ein prachtvolles Wrack, zerschmettert, Um hier zu liegen, für die nächsten 600 Jahre. Der Sturm wird über Meile [sic: sich erstreckend] hier draußen spielen, auf beiden [sic: allen] Seiten. Also sag mir [sic: zum Sturm]: Wer hat Dominosteine? Doch du musst deine Blitze draussen lassen.
[chorus]
Das Unkraut erreicht die Kronen der Bäume.
