it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

today i fell and felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

do you want a song of glory?
well i'm fucking screaming at you

it's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
we've fallen in love..
we fall in love..
it was the best idea i ever had.

today i fell, it felt better
just knowing this matters,
i just feel stronger.. and sharper!
i found a box of sharp objects, what a beautiful thing

    I guess I can say I fell in love with The Used before I saw the video..lol...And I still havent seen it played on Much Music, which is weird, because I know other people have. Oh well. The Used totally own, and I love every one of their songs, especially this one.

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,
