We're gonna die like this, you know, miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive? Absolutely sure?
Well, just get dressed, don't do this

Spent the night lit listening to Miles Davis
Said it makes you want to fall in love
Or be smart enough to keep your distance
You can't decide, you can't decide

We're gonna die like this, you know, miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive? Absolutely sure?
Well, just get dressed, don't do this
And just so you know, when we get home, we're through, we're through

It's a long way back South and to where I belong
Well, yeah, you've been there once or twice
And you still don't like it
I say you just never gave it a chance
(Well, give me a chance, give me a chance)
Besides, did you ever stop to think that we can keep this up living like thieves?
But you can't decide, you can't decide
No, you can't decide, well, you can't decide

We're gonna die like this, you know, miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive? Absolutely sure?
Well, just get dressed, don't do this
And just so you know, when we get home, we're through, we're through

Are you positive? Absolutely sure? Are you positive?

We're gonna die like this, you know, miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive? Absolutely sure?
Well, just get dressed, don't do this
And just so you know, when we get home, we're through, we're through

And just so you know, when we get home, we're through, we're through
We're gonna die like this
We're all hit or miss
And just in spite of it
We're gonna die like this
Miserable and old, and old
And just so you know, when we get home, we're through, we're through
We're gonna die like this
We're all hit or miss
And just in spite of it
We're gonna die like this
Miserable and old, and old

    Are you positive? Absolutely sure? Well just get dressed, don't do this just get dressed, don't do this.

    But she doesnt want to, so hes kind of upset? Yeah, this probably isnt the meaning of the song but it just comes to mind. Anyone?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Magical
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.
