Out Swimming in the Flood

Fightstar

I'm not in your house
But I'm not in your head
And you're not even listening
It's so hard to know
When you're not scared

Please don't help me
Please don't hate me

Stop putting me down
Cause I won't ever understand
(stop panicing)
(stop panicing)
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your mind
(stop panicing)
(stop panicing)

I'm trying not to speak
Cause you can't hear my voice
And nothing seems familiar here
On the other side
Of this town

Please don't help me
Please don't help me

Stop putting me down
Cause I won't ever understand
(stop panicing)
(stop panicing)
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your mind
(stop panicing)
(stop panicing)

Hold on
Hold on
(crushing walls with eager eyes)

If I see this all again
I'll try to take my time
I wonder how fast you can cry

All this time I thought you knew
All this time I thought you knew

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,
