Venona

The Receiving End Of Sirens

Men are waiting patiently
Remove me from the scene
A sea of faceless souls in suits
A sight for eyes
Like thumbs
Sore, crooked, and bow and foul relief
You have
You have been exposed

Your eyes speak well of you
They play my requiem
To a closed-casket burial
Your conspiracy
Conspiring to deliver me
To the authorities
I've been betrayed so graciously

My bloodhounds hooked your trail of ink
Which led me to the words you scribbled down
Obituary dedicated to me
[Submit before coming]

Your eyes speak well of you
They play my requiem
To a closed casket burial
Your conspiracy
Conspiring to deliver me
To the authorities
I've been betrayed so graciously

Might as a well be blind with isolated eyes like mine

Your fingers are star crossed lovers
That can't seem to get enough of each other
This pantomime dialect
Doesn't practice what you preach
Doesn't practice what you preach

Might as a well be blind with isolated eyes like mine
Might as a well be blind with isolated eyes like mine
Might as a well be blind with isolated eyes like mine


Your eyes speak well of you
Blur your eyes and bend the lines
Do you like what you see?
Oh, Romeo

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”

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,
