As stories may be told, this dawning in a time of the old, “Once upon a time there was a man as glorious as the gold; the essence of the childe being raised in the air.” Borrowed powers made this man flourish amongst his peers. His seared words of sorcery they could not cohere, but in there sleep he whispered, “ Conquest relinquishes fear”. Waking up at morning light, a vile instinct took plight. Craving battle they began to march. (Chorus) “Atrocious Quest, Crusade on the West; Obiter Dictum I will say, watch your neck or else they will slay. Is this life they portray? Time may pass until that day, but hark the signs that they forbear”. The Bearer of Dawn - imparted the suffering vows of men -upon the cities -and throughout the lands. -A sentinel was bred, the sentinel bled -all for an eternal sunrise that was led saintly man. Conquest made they will raid with no mercy to the ones who go untouched by dawns light. As stories may be told, in this beginning is in a time of the old, “ Once upon a time there was a man as glorious as the gold; the essence of the childe.” (Chorus) “” Conquest made, they will raid with no mercy to the one’s that go untouched by the dawns light, and for this blood is insight. Craving battle they began to march in their sleep, oddly resembling the holy enigma, they were his flock of sheep. As stories may be told in this time of old they were then gathered… they slaughtered and severed

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,
