Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
She's got ice hockey hair
It's instamatic and it has such flair
And when the puck hits the back of the cage
She feels the tingle of a quiet rage
She thinks it's tasty
Me thinks it's hasty
Take me to a chorus line
Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
I've got the lunar madness
And it's coming straight to you
Table tennis rules
They're so confusing it's not played by fools
And with my time filled to the brim
You may suggest to me anything
Phone me, page me
Fax me 'til I'm silly
Answer me today
Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
You're my Auto Teller
Oh won't you tell me something good?
Maybe you think I'm shady
But I sing your language baby
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oooooh)
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue (X2)
What did I do to you?
Now that you're here tell me you're a non-believer
Oh! Oh! Oh! (X9)
It's instamatic and it has such flair
And when the puck hits the back of the cage
She feels the tingle of a quiet rage
She thinks it's tasty
Me thinks it's hasty
Take me to a chorus line
Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
I've got the lunar madness
And it's coming straight to you
Table tennis rules
They're so confusing it's not played by fools
And with my time filled to the brim
You may suggest to me anything
Phone me, page me
Fax me 'til I'm silly
Answer me today
Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
You're my Auto Teller
Oh won't you tell me something good?
Maybe you think I'm shady
But I sing your language baby
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oooooh)
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue (X2)
What did I do to you?
Now that you're here tell me you're a non-believer
Oh! Oh! Oh! (X9)

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Apparently Ice Hockey Hair is a slang term for a mullet.
yeah - the Vandals have a song called "I Got An Ape Drape" which includes the line:
i've got hockey hair yes i do they're giving then to anyone that means you you can drive to canada and get one too and then you'll have hockey hair like i do
the song lists the names "ape Drape" "acky breaky hair" "Mullet" "Norco NeckWarmer" "forbidden hair" & "Shong"
this song is so catchy
I believe it's "and with my tank filled to the brim" and "won't you tell me something new?".
