I got the time I got my feet
Let's go hit the street
High in the city
High in the city
I got my mace and you got your knife
You gotta protect your own life
High in the city,
High in the city

I want to get high, high in the city
I want to stay alive here in the city
I want to stay high, high in the city
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)

Let's not walk down Sutton Place
You know everybody there got an Akitas
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)
Don't want to talk politics today
I feel too good let me have my way
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)

Watch out for that guy on your right
Seen him on the news last Saturday night
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)
Hey, look they're setting fire to that jeep
There's not much you can keep
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
He in the city (high in the city)

I want to get high high in the city
I want to stay alive alive in the city
I want to stay high high in the city
High in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)
So many people feeling low
And there's only one way to go to
Get high in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city (high in the city)

Let's grab a pie, let's hit the park
I'll kiss and hug you 'till it gets dark
Here in the city (high, high, high, high in the city)
Getting high in the city (high in the city)

High in the city and you're looking so pretty
Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city
(High, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city

High in the city and you're looking so pretty
Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city
(High, high, high, high in the city)
High in the city

High in the city and you're looking so pretty
Feelin' pretty witty, gettin' high off of the city
(High, high, high, high in the city)

    The whole song is a reference to drugs - not just the last bit

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
