Surrounded by familiar faces, the people that you love to see
Where everybody knows your name, and they're smiling
We may not be gettin' younger, our days might be slippin' away
Yeah we're still so fucking young, so we'll party like it's our last day

And for the first time, I feel less alone
And for the first time, I can call this home

It's our last time, to say goodnight
Don't say goodbye, 'cause in the morning we'll
we'll see you around
And we'll sing it again, same time tomorrow, yeah we'll all join in

I'm ashamed of feeling down now
'Cause we're the people we've been waiting on
All we needed was some good friends
And a song to sing a long
With voices yelling in the front room
No one could tell us keep it down
So we all just kept it loud, and tried to wake the entire town

And for the first time, I feel less alone
And for the first time, I can call this home

It's our last time, to say goodnight
Don't say goodbye, 'cause in the morning we'll
we'll see you around
And we'll sing it again, same time tomorrow, yeah we'll all join in

It's our last time, to say goodnight
Don't say goodbye, 'cause in the morning we'll
we'll see you around
And we'll sing it again, same time tomorrow, yeah we'll all join in

Oh each days a number, but we can't forget last summer
When we say we do, we're on to the end
Go on and sing it out
Our days are numbered, we know we're not gettin' any younger
But it's nights like these that make you not really care

Oh each days a number, but we can't forget last summer
When we say we do, we're on to the end
Go on and sing it out
Our days are numbered, we know we're not gettin' any younger
But it's nights like these that make you not really care

We all have been degraded
We all have been the greatest
We al have been degraded
We all will be the greatest

    i think the ending part is supposed to be

    "Oh these days are numbered, but we can't forget last summer When we sang threw our arms into the air. Go on and sing it out. Our days are numbered, and we know we're not gettin' younger But it's nights like these that make you not really care

    Oh these days are numbered, but we can't forget last summer When we sang and threw our arms into the air. Go on and sing it out Our days are numbered, we know we're not gettin' younger But it's nights like these that make you not really care"

    the best line in the whole song is: "We all have been degraded, We all will be the greatest"

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
