I know you and you know me
Olly olly oxen free
Scraping chins and swappin' spit
Do you know what time it is?
One by one they disappear
Time will come to leave your fears
Stars and heights inside your room
Goblins, dragons, witches brew

If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me

Stars appear in different spots
Your talor made confusions not
Special as you think it is
Everybody feels it kid
Tie a dozen red balloons
'Round your waist and click your shoes
Don't forget to say goodbye
'Fore the moon don't seem so high

If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is a mystery
If it hurts every time
Why we do it is unknown to me

    I think its:

    I know you, and you know me, Olly, Olly Oxen free. Scrapping chins and swapping spit, Do you know what time it is? One by one they disappeared Time will come to leave your fears. Stars and heights inside your room, Goblins, dragons, and witches brew

    If it hurts every time, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts every time, Why we do it is unknown to me. If it hurts every time, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts every time, Why we do it is unknown to me.

    Stars appear in different spots, Your tailor-made confusion's not, special as you think it is, Everybody feels it kid.

    Tie a dozen red balloons, 'round your waist and click your shoes don't forget to say goodbye for the mood don't seem so high.

    If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is unknown to me. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is unknown to me.

    If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is unknown to me. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is unknown to me. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is a mystery. If it hurts everytime, Why we do it is unknown to me.

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.
