I've heard this script before
I know this turn of mind
You think that you're the one
to bring the change she's trying to find
But what you're selling she don't need;
she already got it free
Your boat struck something deep
now you're trying to save the sea

You ain't Sir Galahad - she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the wayward son come back to turn the tide
You ain't the saviour king foretold and prophesied
You're just one of many rescuers trying to get by her side

She put her hand around the flame
more times than you can tell
The best thing you can do for her
is to pass and wish her well
She ain't dying on her feet
or hanging on your every word
The pain you're sensing is inside you
you're just thinking it onto her

You ain't Sir Galahad - she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the wayward son come back to turn the tide
You ain't the saviour king foretold and prophecied
You're just one of many rescuers trying to get by her side

I've heard your presentation and it's time for me to go
The train is waiting at the railway station
and there's much that we don't know
I've a secret in my keep and I'll tell you if you ask
but I know that you can't really speak till you remove the mask

Now I can see you're using all you've got,
all the power that's in your hands
You're pulling favours, casting them up
Money flies at your command
You talk hard but you don't listen
You look long but you don't see
But what bothers me most about you, my friend
- you remind me too much of me

You ain't Sir Galahad - she ain't your blushing bride
You ain't the w

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
