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,
Meno mae ni aru subete no mono ga bakemono ni mieru
Yureginai jikan no omosa to
Kako no bourei ni owareru
Kusari chiri yuku mama
Oshi nagasarete Nomi komarete yuku
Ishiki no Pipe wa tatareta mama de juuji wo kire
Kimi no omoidouri no hana wo sakase you
Mushiri torare kareru mae ni
Itsu shika tsubomi wa hana to nari
Risou wo hakidashi kimi ni kateru darou
Sono ude no naka moteru yume kakaete
Shikai Zero no umi ni deyou
Miru mono subete ga kawari hateta naraba
Hana wo haite nemureba ii
Te wo nobaseba furi harawarete konagona ni kieru
Hakanasa no daishou muda ni tsukai Tare nagasu Libido
Itami no gaku ga yue ninshiki suru sonzai no imi wo
Oshiete kureto sugari sakebu kagami no naka no onore
Kimi no naka kawaita hana ni mizu wo yarou
Moshimo sono mi hate nurare
Saki midareru no ka Kuchi hateteru no ka
Futatsu ni hitotsu no Dice
Kimi no omoidouri no hana wo sakaseyou
Mushiri torare kareru mae ni
Itsu shika tsubomi wa hana to nari
Kinou wo hakidashi kimi ni hanasu darou
Once and for all, Dice away
Once and for all, Dice away
Once and for all, Dice away...
Yureginai jikan no omosa to
Kako no bourei ni owareru
Kusari chiri yuku mama
Oshi nagasarete Nomi komarete yuku
Ishiki no Pipe wa tatareta mama de juuji wo kire
Kimi no omoidouri no hana wo sakase you

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
the video quality sucks, the music is OK but its not really my style and there is very little distinct pieces of guitar in it. It is ok but i wouldn't say it is great.
@AshSL I wouldn't say you're a human so you can feel free to autobot suck my penis
