This is Home

I Am Ghost

Close your eyes, it's easier that way
A golden cup and a toast to kings
Lost and decayed we are cut beyond our saving
But we home now, the room is still warm

Fell in love with an angel, a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight, we are dying, just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight

A century of open arms that shield the light
This battle scar is healing
Cast all the pain to the tourniquet that binds me
We are home now, The sun won't hurt you anymore

Fell in love with an angel, a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight, we are dying, just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight

Love has given me a reason to live
Love has given me a reason to die

Fell in love with an angel, a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight, we are dying, just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight
Fell in love with an angel, a heart that isn't cold...
I can feel the pain of the sun as it lights up the air
I can taste the hope, it's everywhere...

Love has given me reason to live
and Love has given me a reason to say goodbye

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.

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,
