Well, I guess you were right about the dream
Yet, it's sad things are never what they seem
Like the promises you made but you never mean
The shadows of the things you've never seen

California's sunny all year 'round
Makes it easy to keep on hangin' 'round
And your dreams are locked away in that ?
Gotta get your feet back on the ground

Lady, it's past time that you gotten wise
You got to get that stardust out of your eyes
You got to take a look at what you're doin'

And what are you thinkin' of?
What about all the things you love?
Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?

And it's past time that you gotten wise
You got to get that stardust out of your eyes
You got to take a look at what you're doin'

And what are you thinkin' of?
What about all the things you love?
Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?

All the sweet talk and promises you hear
Keep you hopin' the dream might still appear
But your hopes keep gettin' fainter every year
Voices start to echo in your ear

Lady, it's past time that you got wise
You got to get that stardust out of your eyes
You got to take a little look at what you're doin'

What are you thinkin' of?
What about all the things you love?
Can't you see the damage that you're doin'?

Well, it's past time that you gotten wise
You got to get that stardust out of your eyes
You got to take a look at what you're doin'

Well, honey, past time, past time
Get that stardust out of your mind
Past time, past time

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
