Maybe the sky's falling out around the babies
Maybe the world is going to spin out of control
I don't care anymore
What if I quit today working for the man
"and" said "I've had enough", well, maybe I can
"It's all gonna end" anyways
Tell me doctor, whats the cure, for the wicked mans blue's

Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly

When the skies, fall to the seas
I won't mind
The cause"IN" me
When the wind, "burns" through the trees
I won't "cry"
"for" The dragonfly

Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly

When I come
"and get me a piece"
take my advice
Just let me be

When the moon, turns black as night
"we'll bathe in the fires"
"of", dragonfly

*Insert guitar solo*

Don't takes so long
I'll be "there" before you know
See you in my mind's eye
Fly, fly dragonfly

Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly

Dont wait too long i will be there before you know
I will suffer the world just to be with you once again

    My Interpretation

    Eh, here's my take on it:

    Maybe the sky's falling down around the babies, Maybe the world's going to spin out of control, I don't care anymore.

    What if I quit today, a workin' for the men, And said I had enough, well maybe I can,

    It's all gonna end anyway.

    Tell me, doctor, what's the cure for the wicked man's blues?

    Fly dragonfly (x4)

    When the sky, falls to the sea, I won't mind, the cause of me, When the wind, blows through the trees, I wanna ride, my dragonfly, Fly dragonfly, Fly dragonfly,

    When I come, Get me a beast, I take my advice Just let me be.

    When the moon, a-turns black as night, Bein' in the fires, Oh, dragonfly, Fly dragonfly,

    Don't take too long, I've been here before, You know (I now?), See you in my mind's eye,

    Fly, dragonfly. (x4)

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
