They're playing in Central Park
Check out him, he's shouting at the gate
Billy didn't tell you everything
Or did he mention the magic day?
Well I figured it out from a fig tree
It's the chosen fruit of the devil himself
Now you've been bad for 50 years
And now it looks like daddy's taking off his belt
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
Cross my heart
And hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
And I'll be learning how to fly
He's coming down but he's not alone
He's gonna bring an army of saints
And he's taking all his back home
And then destroying what remains
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
Cross my heart
And hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
And I'll be learning
To be winged
To be winged
Hoping that the end
Will start it all again
And that's when human history will die
I said it must be what's so right about the day
Cause it all ends in 1999
And commences on the 28th, the 28th, the 28th
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
Cross my heart
And hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
And I'll be learning how to fly
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
Aross my heart
And hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the books
And I'll be learning how to fly
Hopin' that the end
Will start it all again

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
During the reunion show, one of the Pete and Pete creators (Will McRobb) confirmed that the song is about the end of the world. I think many or most thought this interpretation was correct, but it's nice to get second hand feedback from Mark Mulcahy.
Here's the video: youtu.be/-C_QQ452Glw
It should open up to the discussion about Waiting for October... but if it doesn't, the discussion is 1 hr 7 min and 36 seconds into the video. I recommend watching the whole thing, Polaris performs at the very beginning and there is some discussion about music and musicians on the show. Plus a lot of Pete and Pete discussion in general. The audio is fucked up though, so that can be annoying when they are showing clips from the show.
