She was a day tripper girl, now
She give me a one-way ticket there, y'all
It took me so, so very long, huh
I found out, I found out
I found out, I found out, children yeah

Took me out, yes she did
And then she teased me a little bit
She told me she would love me
Teased me a little bit, y'all, huh, yeah
But I'll take the easy way out, girl, huh
I said I got a good reason now, huh
I'm gonna take the easy way out, huh

She was a day tripper girl, now
She give me a one-way ticket there, y'all
It was so, so very long, baby, ha
I found out, I found out
Yes I did, ha

Listen to me, let me tell you about her
She give me a hard time
Everything about that girl
Is good reason, children
I'm gonna take the easy way out, y'all, huh
I said I got a good reason, girl, yeah, huh
I'm gonna take the easy way out, now

She was a day tripper girl, now, ha
I got a one-way ticket there girl
It took me so, so very long, y'all, huh
I found out, I found out
I found out, oh yeah

Day tripper girl, yeah
She give me one-way ticket there, y'all
It took me so, so very long, huh
I found out, I found out
Ouh, Ooh baby

She's a teaser, nothing but a teaser
Good teaser, nothing but a teaser now
Give me a hard time
On everything I do, y'all

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
