Eyes that blind like A glare
that comes from the sun
delivered from above
choking on the apple of youreye
I sit and wonder why
I sit here roped and tied
and I should've known
I should have been gone long ago
cause you're done
but where do I go
when I've no place to run?

I think it's gonna give me a heart attack
acting like a broken record
skipping every track

Iron out the wrinkles of your soul
and darn out the holes in your head
I carry my love for you in a thimble
and I sew back the seams of my love
in your heart with a rusty needle and thread
I should have been gone long ago
'cause you're done
now I look in your eyes
like I stare at the sun

I think you're gonna give me a heart attack
you're acting like a broken record
skipping every track

and I should've known
I should have not sewn these seeds so deep
but I'm sure that they will grow
from the tears that you weep
I should have been gone long ago
'cause you're done
now I look in your eyes
like I stare at the sun

    AMAZING song. Jesus Christ.

    This album is one of the most beautiful pieces of work I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. We're in effin 2010 and I was listening to this band back in 2001. It's amazing how different they sound on every album, from sense of coalition to this one. But they always caught my ear no matter what. I defy the reviews that dismissed this album as an attempt to fit into the mainstream pop punk genre. The hell with that. This was one of the greatest bands of all time, no messing around. After this album, however, I don't know what other direction there was to take, and I obv. don't know the exact reasons they broke up, whether it was internal conflicts or w/e, but I'm a firm believer in ending things when they are at their pinnacle, much like the decision to end Sex and The City or Friends when they were at the top. Sometimes there's no where else to go. But goddamnit to hell, this band will always get me hot 'ehn bothered. Holler at me. ONE TIME!

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
