You fade in and out like you're not sure where you are
And I kiss the back of your neck
Where you don't have to kiss me back
And this time, I'm closing both my eyes
When it's hard to look at me
When you begin to cry
And we can lay like ghosts
If that will help you stay
I'll never say a word again
Put the questions away

How can you say you're not in love anymore
When tomorrow, we'll be back to the way we were before
How can you pretend you don't care anymore
Like you've lost all the reasons

Tonight, we can dress like crooks
Just to change the way we look, oh, love
And if you want to smile
Like the sadness isn't foul
Like your head's not a mess
Like I was someone else

How can you say you're not in love anymore
When tomorrow, we'll be back to the way we were before
How can you pretend you don't care anymore
Like you've lost all the reasons

It's out of habit, but I'm yours and yours to break
'Cause I've given up on hoping we could stay the same
This is all that we are, this is all that we are

How can you say you're not in love anymore?
How can you tell me you don't care anymore?
I did not see you change, 'cause nothing changed at all
How can you say you don't know anymore?
How can you love me and walk straight out the door?
And I know ?, 'cause I ?

    At first I wasn't really digging this EP. It's really starting to grow on me.

    I used to listen to the old EP every night for months. I'd just put it on repeat when I went to bed and use it as a lullaby.

    Such a great band. It's a shame they broke up.

    Ah, well. Thanks for the songs anyway guys.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
