Scent is high on the wind tonight, I can taste you from
Here
Circle Downwind and out of sight, you won't notice I'm
Near
Twitch of fear as you move at the treeline, I take the
Weak and the small
Bare your eye teeth or beg me for more time, you won't
Slow me at all

No, the joy or the hate hardly matters — there is
Nothing but hunger in this
Rest a heartbeat and I'll get my teeth in blood

Radar sense like a light in the hollow, taste that fear
In the dark
Every breath leaves a trace that I follow, I will catch
Every mark

Move and surely my sharp eye will see you, stop and
I'll take you down
Joy of tooth in the bone and the gristle, blood alive
In my mouth

Some will say there is safety in numbers, tell that
Myth to the edge of the herd
Leave the wek and I might even spare your blood

Wizened crone that is bent by the river, She wears a
Necklace of skulls
Better hope that if by chance you see her, She isn't
Washing your clothes

Not that seeing Her face really matters, No there's
Nothing at all we can do
Life begins as it all surely ends in blood

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,
