This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Come one, come all to Jasontown
Mother is showing the world around
Her garden is finally grown
Her garden is finally grown
Flowers grow and people see
They all look the same to me
Growing in a row
Growing in a row
I love Julie in the spring
Candyfloss hair and purple wings
Talking in my sleep
Walking in my sleep
I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...
1492 is now
Please don't ask me why or how
People are the same
People are the same
Don't you come to Jasontown
Father is saying the world is round
Here the garden's grown
Here the garden's grown
I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...
Mother is showing the world around
Her garden is finally grown
Her garden is finally grown
Flowers grow and people see
They all look the same to me
Growing in a row
Growing in a row
I love Julie in the spring
Candyfloss hair and purple wings
Talking in my sleep
Walking in my sleep
I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...
1492 is now
Please don't ask me why or how
People are the same
People are the same
Don't you come to Jasontown
Father is saying the world is round
Here the garden's grown
Here the garden's grown
I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
The words are impressionistic/abstract to me, it’s more about feeling them than trying to discern an actual meaning…just beautiful poetry and images. Amazing song to lead off a very important album, an underrated masterpiece and well ahead of it’s time.
