Sarah slides up to the bar and orders me
The strongest thing this side of armor street
She's got the saddest eyes I've ever seen
When she says
Oh baby were you ever meant to be
Well maybe
Now sexy don't get so excited
Besides
You're so much cuter when you try to fight it
You're filling up the room with that terrible gloom
And the mere thought of a turnaround is bring the whole place down
Stop the press
Who is that mess
Go on drone
We've never been so impressed
Go on drone
Stay home
Afraid of the phone and famously alone
Go on drone
True love might be fun for some
But we know that it's just too tough
Is there the proper power left to hold us in
So we'd stay golden
So I'm always working on new grand ways to avoid
Doing any work on everything
That could amount to anything
The poor poor cat
Don't lie like that
In regret's bed
In beads of sweat
Blurry head
Ruby red
Not yet deceased
Undead instead
Hardly home de chez rainbow
Je ne sais quai
Je taime cell phone
We know you know how
Don't you drone
We know you know
Stop the press
Who is that mess
Go on drone
We've never been so impressed
Go on drone
Stay home
Afraid of the phone and famously alone
Go on drone
We are all done now

    this has such a beautifull and soft melody.

    i have the impression that this is about having a "closure" conversation with your ex. being at the bar and just realizing how sad everything is. it explores the painfull elements of those first few weeks of being single again; insomnia, depression, seclusion, and just overwhelming apathy. just the usual breakup emotions and coelesced inscecerity of it all.

    this is as good as morrissey-esque can get. bob nanna's poetry is such a gift.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
