There's always something to hide
There's always someone to lead on with you
An obligatory wine
Evidently proved that I don't need you

She said, "Oh please, you're obsessed"
I said she looked overdressed
She deffo didn't like that, no

You see, I'm feeling like it's put on
When you say you don't need me
And you want nothing of me

Oh but, babe, you know I've tried and failed
But you just don't know how it feels
To lose something you never have and never will

There's always some kid too snide
They took my mother at thirteen
And pacifically I
Evidently proved that I didn't need you or no one

She said, "It's you I detest"
I said she looked under-slept
She deffo didn't like that, no

You see, I'm feeling like it's put on
When you say you don't need me
And you want nothing of me

Oh but, babe, you know I've tried and failed
But you just don't know how it feels
To lose something you never have and never will

Oh but, babe, you know I've tried and failed
But you just don't know how it feels
To lose something you never had and never will

I'm a pacifier
I'm a pacifier
I'm a pacifier
I'm a pacifier

    My Interpretation

    I can only speak for what I take away from the chorus. It speaks to me in my current life situation.

    This guy went out of his way to try and make things work in their friendship. Although it was just a friendship, he wanted to be more than friends. She did not feel the same way and her actions caused him to feel like she didn't want anything to do with him in any way. He then tried to be her friend, but she still pushed him away. He didn't want to give up, but she left him no choice but to move on.

    "But Babe You know I've tried and failed But you Just don't know how it feels To lose Something you never had and never will"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
