A hard knock
A cold clock ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck, couldn't seem to find
Or unwind into peace of mind
Though I was trying

A quick glance
A big chance, my heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then the kiss

And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right and love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing when it's true
And I'm free in you

The lost time
The self crime my big mistakes
The clear voice of bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day not too bad
But too real
To go away

But now I'm free in you
I got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right and love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing when it's true
And I'm free in you

And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard (I took so hard)
But I truly believe (I truly believe)
That you see the best in me (that you see the best in me)
I'm enough for your love (enough for your love)
And the thought sets me
Free! In you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right and love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing when it's true

And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free
In you

    This song is so sweet. Its about taking that chance in love and let the other person just sweep you off your feet. Feeling that you can be yourself with this person and that they will love you for who you are.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
