Days rollin' by like local construction
The cranes try to scrape some more sky before quitting time
Work on it, work at it, work, but its never done
Days rollin' by like local construction
I'm watching the tenements increase by increments
Work on it, work at it, work, but its never done, no no

Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself
Its never done
no no
Its never done
no no
Like local construction
Its never done

Days rollin' by like local construction
The birds interrupt the CAT while it's backing up
Work on it, work at it, work, but it's...
Days rollin' by like local construction
That one big, blue tarpaulin’s draped over scenery
Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done
no no

Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself
Its never done
Its never done
no no
Like local construction
Its never done
Like local construction
Its never done

I'll forget my manners
This headache's so stammering
This jackhammer's clamoring on

Fix the car, fix the house, fix the flaws in myself
Its never done
Its never done
no no
Like local construction
Its never done
Like local construction
Its never done, no no

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
