Out of the box
Down colorful hill
Wind lifting tired feet
Skin sensing challenge ahead
Prayers prayers prayers
For success
Prayers prayers prayers
Always die in time
Losing the dream
Face to face sleeping
Losing the dream
Open mouth breathing
Where unadmired beings
Dread the due changes ahead
Prayers prayers prayers
For success
Prayers prayers prayers
Always die in time
Like empty roofs above
Life for poor doves
Like empty roofs above
Rid of our love
Down colorful hill
Wind lifting tired feet
Skin sensing challenge ahead
Prayers prayers prayers
For success
Prayers prayers prayers
Always die in time
Losing the dream
Face to face sleeping
Losing the dream
Open mouth breathing
Where unadmired beings
Dread the due changes ahead
Prayers prayers prayers
For success
Prayers prayers prayers
Always die in time
Like empty roofs above
Life for poor doves
Like empty roofs above
Rid of our love

@[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

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
For, the song is about his love story:
first he discovers love with this girl, and they often go and have fun 'down colorful hill', in a big house and a small bed (as he says in "Medicine Bottle"). They use to sit on the roof of the house swinging their feet, lifted by the wind, and they he already feels that there are gonna be some challenges ahead. He prays, and prays, and prays for a successful love, hoping it will last, but (I think I can hear him saying 'Prayers unheard, always die in time" or "Prayers answered always die in time), even if he hopes so, the possibilities or a long love are few.
They keep going there and spend time together ('face to face sleeping'), but his love for her is fading away ('losing the dream'). He doesn't wonder of her anymore and he fears the changes that are coming, even if they are necessary. Here the music changes: the distorted guitar comes in and the drums start playing a very animated rhythm, meaning those changes. Then, his love stops, as the music has now a new melody growing.
'Like empty roofs above Life for poor doves' They don't sit on the roof anymore, and now those roofs for poor and deceived 'doves' (he and her ex-love).
'Like empty roofs above Rid of our love' That's it: they don't love each other anymore. It ended, at last.
I love this song and this album. My god, I love it soooooooooo much.
