This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
This girl moved into my apartment (One day)
One look at her my heart was stopping (Heartbreak)
I did whatever she was asking
She said "maybe later catch you in the elevator"
A couple days we got to hanging (Real close)
Turns out she wasn't even taken (No no)
I made a move she said "baby you're mistaken, I'm not into bacon"
She got that smile and that body is to die for
One of a kind and that's why it makes me cry
'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
I should've known to walk away then
I should've left it alone
But when she called me on the phone we'd be hanging again
Under the premise of friends
But now she only talks to me about some other woman
She says
She got that smile
And that body is to die for
One of a kind
And that's why it makes me cry
'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
I found a girl
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
I can't believe I met somebody like you
And now I feel like a fool
Anatomy is so cruel
I can't believe it I just think like a man
That you just wanted me bad
But you had different plans
'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
Found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
One look at her my heart was stopping (Heartbreak)
I did whatever she was asking
She said "maybe later catch you in the elevator"
A couple days we got to hanging (Real close)
Turns out she wasn't even taken (No no)
I made a move she said "baby you're mistaken, I'm not into bacon"
She got that smile and that body is to die for
One of a kind and that's why it makes me cry
'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
I should've known to walk away then
I should've left it alone
But when she called me on the phone we'd be hanging again
Under the premise of friends
But now she only talks to me about some other woman
She says
She got that smile
And that body is to die for
One of a kind
And that's why it makes me cry
'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
I found a girl
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
I can't believe I met somebody like you
And now I feel like a fool
Anatomy is so cruel
I can't believe it I just think like a man

'Cause I found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why

I found a girl
Found a girl
Who's in love with a girl
She said, that she tried
But she's not into guys
Oh, why, tell me why
Did I fall for those eyes?
She said I was nice
But she's not into guys
I found a girl

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
Ed Sheeran

Amazing

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
He fancied an awesome lesbian. It happens. Feelings linger, but he respected hers. She's in love with someone else; and that someone will never be him.
