This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I wanna see you tonight
What's the point?
All we do is fight
I've loved you
So long
I don't know who I'd be without
My head hurts
I wish I'd never woke up
I feel worse
Than when S Club 7 broke up
I hate the day
It hates me
So does everybody else
I sit here drooling on my own again
And like a routine episode of Friends
What does it mean to be American?
Is it
Feelings, coffee and
I'll be there for you?
Later on me and a bottle will hook up to have some fun
Then I'll call your house at twelve to let you know
That I'm drunk
Say I'm sorry Mr C, I was just looking for your son
How are you, incidentally, do you know if he's out
Alone?
There is this book he lent to me something like seven
Months ago
I'm gonna burn it in the street be so kind as let him
Know
That I'm dealing
With this badly
And
Could he please get back to me?
Since you've gone my only friends are Billy Bragg and
The Jam
Though my time with you has got me feeling oh so k.d.
Lang
I think you're right about the New Kids on the Block
And I agree now Billy Joel does not rock
Wish I could tell you all the things that Woody Allen
Helps me see
How Annie Hall is starting to seem quite a lot like you
And me
It took a while to come around to David Bowie's new CD
And it's much too late to give back your Magnetic
Fields EP
Can I keep it
By my pillow?
Fucking loved it
How I long to tell you so
When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and
Grapes
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress
Holds your shape
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for
Months
If tomorrow is the funeral do you think that you could
Come?
I could give you back your music and your t-shirts and
Your socks
Walk to Jazz's house in SOHO cry into her letter box
Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow
Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion
Makes me strong
Until one day I realise I don't remember that you're
Gone
We'll be strangers
Who were lovers
I'll recover
It's so weird how time goes on
What's the point?
All we do is fight
I've loved you
So long
I don't know who I'd be without
My head hurts
I wish I'd never woke up

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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 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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
magnetic field teepee = Magnetic Fields EP.
C'mon, I can't be the first person to visit this page that knows who the Magnetic Fields are. They're amazing!
i know some of the words are probably wrong.. and i particularly don't get the third verse. but i love how the whole song is bursting with this whole bunch of words. i also love the part where she goes "could he please get back to me?" cos she's asking his dad to get him to call her back and she's kinda begging him to come back at the same time.
For some reason this song makes me think of a friend of mine who was killed. Even though this is a song about the loss of a romantic relationship, the sense of grief it expresses is so similar to what I've felt.
I love this song argh.
This song is just too good to be true. I know it's basically simple, about the breakup of a relationship, but somehow I always get from it that she has no real claim on her lover anyway, maybe she was just friends with this guy but had secret feelings for him? I'm rambling, though.
The line, "And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape" is what got to me. After a few listens, i realised it's: teach the matress to expel you from its folds :)

Personally i think this song is about the death of her lover.
"And it's much too late to give back your magnetic field EP" "Until one day i realise I don't remember that you're gone"
I believe it's about dealing with death, and how she is in denial for so long about it.
i love how her descriptions of her difficulties letting go of the relationship are so simple and easy to relate to i giggled when she mentioned s club 7 lovely song =)
I don't that this song is about the death of a lover. I think its simply the death of a relationship something that in its self requires a kind of mourning. Her difficulties are just in letting go of a realationship that has obviously shaped her.
"I've loved you. So long I don't know who I'd be without"
I think this is how anyone whos been with someone for a period of time feels. It's accepting that things will never quite be the same again.
"We'll be strangers who were lovers I'll recover It's so weird how time goes on"
I love this song and all of Emmy Lees songs mainly because it speaks of things that all of us do and the reactions are the way that all of us react.
Anyway im more than likley talking nonsense now.
