I step unwind to hear the stereo
Emission translates itself ethereal
Regress take time about my confidence
Hold my whine to keep my reference
They say that luck can get you anywhere
But for me its just a thorn in my side,
I can’t hide,
The little facial twitch that keeps me
Undefined in my mind
I cast aside a certain mark
That makes me realize

Chorus
My shirts on backwards and inside out
Could it be more wrong that it is right now
I gotta cut back anyway
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta
I gotta cut back anyway

Polysemous lines from your personology
Forgotten like mixing my work with botany
Class restrictions mold the lines on your face
Aesthetic value runs your rabbit race
They say that luck can get you anywhere
But for me its just a thorn in my side,
I can’t hide,
The little facial twitch that keeps me
Undefined in my mind
I cast aside a certain mark
That makes me realize

Chorus

Can’t stop my head from spinning
So high I must be dreaming
Create my last incision
For the one and me
Your life you can’t stop living
Theres more to life than misery
The stones that cover my face
Let go, one last time
You gotta let go, you gotta let go

My shirts on backwards and inside out
Could it be more wrong that it is right now
One more thing before I go

My shirts on backwards and inside out
Could it be more wrong that it is right now
I gotta cut back anyway
I gotta cut back anyway
I gotta cut back anyway

Little Feat
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,
