Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious, whoa
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah
Like never before are tired of being action less
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors
Your World War III is drawing near
Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Until the battle's lost or made, whoa
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah
Like never before, are tired of being in the shade
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors, hey
Your World War III is drawing near, World War III
Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Till once again victorious, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Damn catchy. Also, the promo video for this song is really cute. Bouncy Castles and go-karts and everything. :]
This song is another anti-war song from Black Sea. Catchy pop song like so many of XTCs songs are. You hear this once you won't forget it. Whistling in music is nothing new but I can't remember it sounding so good!
What a brilliant album. Listening to it again today and it sounds so fresh and timeless
It's funny how in 1980 we all believed the generals and majors wanted a big glorious war. What they really wanted was an easy win, like the Falklands or Grenada.
Sure, we did come scarily close to the end of the world anyway a few times by accident (Able Archer 83, etc.), but we got lucky, and got a decade of great music out of our collective desperation, so maybe it was all for the best.
Much truer now than back in the 80s.
