Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
When he undressed
And let his manliness show
His entire life became great
He met so many cool new friends
They all said "Hey man, how's it hangin'?"
Chorus:
Let's get naked
You'll have the time of your life
Let's get naked
Just please don't tell my wife
And when it seemed like
His self esteem was almost gone
He heard the words I have to say (OK, OK, OK)
Don't be too shy, don't be too lame
Don't worry about your willy
They all look the same
Chorus
His sad conscience then was
Almost terminated
When he heard about nudist colonies being related
His life was great
He didn't drink any gin or tonic
As long as he relied on naked babes and smoking chronic
Chorus
And after all, everything's funner naked
And let his manliness show
His entire life became great
He met so many cool new friends
They all said "Hey man, how's it hangin'?"
Chorus:
Let's get naked
You'll have the time of your life
Let's get naked
Just please don't tell my wife
And when it seemed like
His self esteem was almost gone
He heard the words I have to say (OK, OK, OK)
Don't be too shy, don't be too lame
Don't worry about your willy
They all look the same
Chorus
His sad conscience then was
Almost terminated
When he heard about nudist colonies being related
His life was great
He didn't drink any gin or tonic
As long as he relied on naked babes and smoking chronic
Chorus
And after all, everything's funner naked

@[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.

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,
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.
American Town

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is not Flipsyde...Someday, Spun, US History, Flipsyde, Revolutionary Beat (Let's Ride), Time, No More, Train, Get Ready, Angel, Skipping Stones, Trumpets, Happy Birthday; those are the tracks/songs that Flipsyde has, there's some crazy band that apparantly has the same name or something and puts out very crappy music and I guess people think they're the same, I don't know, but on the net there's alot of songs that are labeled Flipsyde that aren't Flipsyde.
ok, not only is this the worst song ever written, but you got the lyrics wrong.
The was written when we were like 15. that was very very long ago. This is not a representation of flipsyde. we hate this song.
stop bitching and be glad someone cared enough to post it.. and its a part of "Flipsyde", no matter denial.
sorry, what are the lyrics then?
