"Watt here
I'm downstairs
F-from your, if you're up
I get tense"

"Thurston, Watt, Thurston!
I think it's ten-thirty, we're calling from Providence, Rhode Island
Did you find your shit?
You gotta watch the motin' Thurston, your fuckin' memory just goes out the window
We couldn't find it in the van at all, we wonderin' if you looked in that trash can
When we threw out that trash, man, was the bag in your hand, did you dump it?
Call later, bye"

    gotta agree with toher.. not about the amp burning out, but that piano bit, at least before the message starts playing sounds incredibly sad to me. just reminds me how fast time goes and about everyone dear to me i've lost. pretty odd to me that this track is on a noise rock album, idk why that is.

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.
