Where will you be when it all falls down?
Where will you be when it all comes back around?
Where will you be at the end of our days?
Just following the footsteps let the liars lead the way

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses 'til I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway

Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?
Who will you blame?

Who will you blame for the servile days?
Who will you blame for the hurricanes and tidal waves?
Who will you blame for the riots and the anger?
Just cryin' in the corner wishing you would have had a say

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses 'til I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway

Like a monster hides in your closet
It's creeping closer but we don't care
Are we all insane?
If it's just a game well I don't want to play

I can talk about love,
I can talk about hate,
I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
I can talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing,
I can talk about problems, I can talk about sin
I can talk about trial, but what do we really win?
I can talk about forgiveness, though I'd probably be condemned
Or I can talk about

    this song is about the completion of the facutol building and all the stuff they did after the hunting trip. strong bass quarrels and antidimetic drums.

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.

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,

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 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.
