Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them?
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey

Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
Which we must use
In our defense
Silence
Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey

Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey

Our lips are sealed

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Cryin' angel
Forget their lies

Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them?
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey

Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey

Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

    Haylie Duff, Sweetie, repeat after me: Would you like fries with that? Haylie can't sing for shit and she definately can't act. If that's what she plans on doing, she needs to talk to someone professional and I'm not talking Hilary because she's a poser and really doesn't sing all that great either. But I love Hil's acting. Hil, be yourself and not a wannabe rockstar because you're being a bitch!

    This made me cry when I heard it...and not in the happy way! I CANNOT BELIEVE SOMEONE LET THEM COVER THIS!

    I think you might wanna blame Hilary's boyfriend Joel Madden for the "wannabe rockstar" attitude. She seems as if she is trying to impress him. Why do I care? I don't know. God someone please make Hilary the demonic pop tart shut up!! I can't turn on the tv or go to the movies or even the fucking grocery store without seeing her face plastered on something... It's me, I understand that I caused this. I am a horrible person and God is punishing the world and me with Hilary Snuff. Everyone, I'm sorry.

    So we can agree that this cover is real awful. Anyone want to counter that they like this version so we can flame him/her?

    you guys can hate her and all, but i love this song, it's one of my faves of hers, for some reason it's on my cinderella story sound track, when this song is only on the credits of this movie, OH WELL, i can relate to this, and i try to listen to it when it's happening, so it's real inspirational. but i think haylie duff isnt a very good singer, hilary has a more young voice, and yeah, she's prettier than haylie too.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

Blue
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.

Page
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.
