Under The Weather

Feeder

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed
I wish that I was still fifteen
Debbie Harry and Steve McQueen
I found the angel in my dream
Sucked her dry and I cut her wing
L.A. food store cabinet

[Chorus]
Get up, shut up
Give me neurofen plus
Shut up, it hurts
Feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up
You know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather

From the womb into school
Changing faces, breaking rules
Circumstances make you bleed
Sew the wound so you will heal
Cause there's no substitute for pain
Histrionics, broken frames
Build a fire to thaw my brain
L.A. food store cabinet

[Chorus]

I don't know why I do this time and time again
Cause all my drowning sorrows became my friends

Get out, just shut up, get out, yeah, shut up

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
L.A. food store cabinet

[Chorus]

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

I've got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I've got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

    I'm pretty sure the lyrics are "L.A. food-store Cabernet"...as in very cheap Cabernet Sauvignon that he's getting totally hammered on, and which he wakes up from with this godawful hangover. Cheap wine is the worst for this and quite rightly so...it should act as a just reward for anyone stupid enough to bother drinking crap like that...for a mere three pounds more, you could probably get a rather good mid-range equivalent, with ten times the flavour.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,
