This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
This is a story and you are not in it, uh huh
Fuck pages torn out
Here is a bedroom that you've never been in and
Here is your shovel, there's the ground
Look, two lovers covered in covers, uh huh
I can put us to bed tonight
I am bruised but she is dressing the wounds
Night nursing a broken man
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl, she was nothing like you
After waking up post operation
I find I've come in a dream again
All the pain almost as painful as ever but
Something in me was not the same
At night during dreams of submission
I could claw back my heart and soul
As the size of the tumor diminishes
So it filled that black hole
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
Fuck pages torn out
Here is a bedroom that you've never been in and
Here is your shovel, there's the ground
Look, two lovers covered in covers, uh huh
I can put us to bed tonight
I am bruised but she is dressing the wounds
Night nursing a broken man
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl, she was nothing like you
After waking up post operation
I find I've come in a dream again
All the pain almost as painful as ever but
Something in me was not the same
At night during dreams of submission
I could claw back my heart and soul
As the size of the tumor diminishes
So it filled that black hole
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you

Holiday

@[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

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I like how he compares trying to get over her to recovering from a operation to remove a cancerous tumor, with someone new helping to nurse him back to health, although he admits that this someone new is not a cure but an aid.
