Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife with four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
And I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I've got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now, the spittin' image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
I remember every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Twenty years, have came and went, since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back, to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin, a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
What is left of a husband and a wife with four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
And I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I've got to get away
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now, the spittin' image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
I remember every time I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Twenty years, have came and went, since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back, to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin, a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday

@[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,
sometimes i dont know why this old world cant leave well enough alone.
i love that line.
