This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
See the rivers filled with rain
I wish it could be blue again
Hazy petrol nights
Crimson sun on traffic lights
A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it's light
Streets get full up every night
With people buzzing round the lights
And waving at the taxis driving by
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Watch the morning chase the night
Rolling home, it's getting light
Feeling sleepy, full of wine
Fall in bed, just in time
The perfect stare of perfect eyes
That kiss you as they tell you lies
And wonder where you're going, where've you been
In towers high with time to fill
Gardens on your window sill
In between the pavement and the sky
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs
A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it's light
Perfect silence me and you
It's really me, I really do
Remember every moment magnified
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs
I wish it could be blue again
Hazy petrol nights
Crimson sun on traffic lights
A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it's light
Streets get full up every night
With people buzzing round the lights
And waving at the taxis driving by
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Watch the morning chase the night
Rolling home, it's getting light
Feeling sleepy, full of wine
Fall in bed, just in time
The perfect stare of perfect eyes
That kiss you as they tell you lies
And wonder where you're going, where've you been
In towers high with time to fill
Gardens on your window sill
In between the pavement and the sky
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs
A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it's light
Perfect silence me and you
It's really me, I really do
Remember every moment magnified
Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's today's just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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 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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag

“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.
this is amongst my favourite Lightning Seeds songs, makes me think about nice things and reminds me about a lot of stuff in my life too. I especially like the line "Now tomorrow's here today, and yesterday's todays just fade away" because it reminds me of how many great memories I have, and how quickly things in life can change.
