Bastard Saints

Sinister

Trapped in a mendacious world
Ignorant child, victim of christian filth
Enforced to have faith in the book of lies,
Disguised as goodness

Bastard saints filled with lies and disgust
Reverend and ravisher
Bastard saints massacre of the mind
Thy faith trampled down
Bastard saints

Outrage of children in the name of christ
But where is your god now?
Outrage of children by the hands of trust
The hands of betrayal

Bastard saints filled with lies and disgust
Reverend and ravisher
Bastard saints massacre of the mind
Thy faith trampled down
Bastard saints

Bastards
Christians emit falsehood
Children crammed with lies
Paralyzed their minds
Living spurious lives

Between ambiguous words
Your only spitting lies
Christian web of foulness
Deceivers of mankind

Bastard saints
Ignorant children sodomized
Raped and victomized
By redeemers of falsehood
Ravished by the hands of god

Saints bastards
Lacivicious priest, abuser
Perversious act covered up
Priesthood violated the truth
Bastard saints

Liars, who are you to abuse lives
Saints of vicious christian lies

Patron saints, abuser
Perverted act covered up
Priesthood violated the truth
Bastard saints

Liars, bastards
Throw the blame on the devil
Or just call it a sin
Confess and be forgiven
Bastard saints

Act of violence
Saints bastards
Bastard saints
Redeemers of falsehood
Deceivers of mankind

Who are you to abuse lives
Saints of vicious christian lies
Bastards

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
