Hands on the Bible
Scared like a child
God holds you liable
For what you've done
Homicidal
Stare down your idols
Pretty baby never born

You can't believe it
You didn't mean it
But they saw you do it and they know your name

Rats in the attic
Toys in the cellar
She's an addict
He wants to learn
Hands on the bible
Egomaniacal as you screw yourself into oblivion

Worn and faded
Stoned and jaded
You'll have to face it on your own
Smashed on the pavement
Stunned in amazement
Everything you made comes crawling back to you

You can't believe it

You didn't mean it
But they saw you do it and they know your name


So hands on the bible
Scared like a child
God holds you liable
For what ya done
Homicidal
Stare down your idols
A pretty baby never to be born

You can't pretend that you don't know the reason
For the repent that you saw

Hands on the Bible
Hands on the Bible
Hands on the Bible
Hands on the Bible

    Several months later and I realize how stupid I was when I typed that. I meant to say that, Stoney, I really did, and I hope my apology comes through in beautiful shining colors.

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
