[Boy:]
There's a hole in the sky tonight
Did the moon drift too far from sight?
I would search through this empty darkness
To see your face in the morning light
We've been lost in a sea of confusion
Got caught up in a selfish illusion
But make no mistake: I will bend till I break
Don't let fate make the choice for us
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it
What about me?
What about you?
What about love?
[Girl:]
Once in a lifetime you'll find someone heaven send for you
For a lifetime you'll feel there's a reason to believe
In a love that's meant to be
[Boy:]
It feels like we've fallen from grace
Given up on the higher thing
'Cause I know deep inside if we search we will find
Something to give us wings
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it?
What about me?
What about you?
What about love?
[Boy:]
I can't go on another day
Comin' home and seeing you cryin'
[Girl:]
Can't stand another night
Of telling you I'm tired when I'm dying
[Both:]
Forever means nothing
To live without you
Is reaching for something that never comes through
Together is heaven
Apart we're in hell
The time for forgiveness is now
Once in a lifetime you'll find
Someone to share your dreams
For a lifetime
Our love will always set us free
Forever we'll believe...
[Boy:]
I can't forget the feelin of your sweat upon my skin
And the tremble of your body on the day you let me in
It happens once, only once in a lifetime
[Girl:]
On a summernight's surrender with nothing to loose
You were scared and so was I when I gave myself to you
It happens once, only once in a lifetime
[Both:]
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it
What about me?
What about you?
What about love that won't say never?
When you don't know what you can do
If you don't live you just regret it
What about me?
What about you?
What about love?
There's a hole in the sky tonight
Did the moon drift too far from sight?
I would search through this empty darkness
To see your face in the morning light
We've been lost in a sea of confusion
Got caught up in a selfish illusion
But make no mistake: I will bend till I break
Don't let fate make the choice for us
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it
What about me?
What about you?
What about love?
[Girl:]
Once in a lifetime you'll find someone heaven send for you
For a lifetime you'll feel there's a reason to believe
In a love that's meant to be
[Boy:]
It feels like we've fallen from grace
Given up on the higher thing
'Cause I know deep inside if we search we will find
Something to give us wings
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it?
What about me?
What about you?
What about love?
[Boy:]

Comin' home and seeing you cryin'

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I can't believe no one has commented on this song. BAT III is packed with unbelievable songs, many of which seem to reflect my feelings toward the woman I love. But this one hits it out of the ball park. it describes my current love relationship to a tee, and has given me the inspiration I need to try and set things right. It's a good thing it wasn't released on vinyl since the needle would have cut through it wilth the 100's of times I've listened to eat. A truly amazing set of lyrics, just like so many others he's sung.
