Ours is not a sweet love
Ours is not a flame that burns like heaven so nice
Don't look in my eyes or I tell you twice
It's really complicated

Ours is not a sweet goodbye
Ours is not a fear that melts like ice
So use your heart like a homing device
And tell it to me later

Suddenly there's no there there
And you're throwin' me another blank stare
'Cause we use the same products for our hair
For our hair

Ours is not a sweet lullaby
Ours is not a dream that falls on innocent eyes
Consider mulling over my sage advice
And get a new computer

Ours is not a home sweet home
Ours is not a street that leads to paradise
So hard to breathe with my balls in a vice
I really should be going

Suddenly neither one of us cares that
The rules are so unfair
'Cause we use the same products for our hair
For our hair

Ours is not a golden age
Ours is not a time that will be remembered as wise
So hang your heads and watch as it dies
And lose my phone number

'Cause we are made of passing dreams
We are here to entertain a sick diety
To procreate with a demon seed
But I swear it gets better

Suddenly the man upstairs comes down
To get some air and we hope he likes
What we've done to our hair
To our hair

One two three four one two three four
One two three four one two three four
One two three four one two three four
One two three four one two three four

    It's clearly about a failing relationship. The narrator seems to be lamenting over how bad the relationship is. I really like the "cause we are made of passing dreams..." stanza, it really shows how pessimistic the narrator is.

    I don't really have a clue about what "we use the same product for our hair" is suppose to mean. My best guess is that the only reason the couple is still together is because they are physically attracted to each other, though their is no emotional attraction.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
