Is the can half diseased
Or is the disease half canned
And is the man half machine
Or is the machine half man

I'm unretrofied
For you I'll just fake it
In the end just save it
For a new song and leave dead

In the end time is wasted
In the end wood paneled wagon
Carpool dragons
Killing me again

Now they're looting our holes
Until there is nothing left
Calloused intentions it seems,
Coward's invention at best

I'm unretrofied
For you Jesus can't play the music
Caused he's nailed to the cross
And over gnawed off feet I find

That I can't walk
I can't even walk
We're all dead

    Wow, just dloaded this song. I never really expected something like this from Dillinger, it's great...but I'm clueless on what unretrofied even means. =\

    Goes out to buy Miss Machine

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
