I fell in love with a boy
Fell in love once and almost completely
He's in love with the world,
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
He turns and he says, "Are you alright?"
Oh I must be fine 'cause my hearts still beating,
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Sarah said its cool she don't consider it cheating,
Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
Can't keep away from the boy
The two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do my left brain knows that all love is fleeting
He's just looking for something new
Yeah I said it once before but it bears repeating
(aaaaa,aaaaa,aaaaa,aaaaaaa)
Can't think of anything to do
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
He's just looking for something new well
I said it once before but it bears repeating
Fell in love with a boy I fell in love once and almost completely
He's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
He turns and asks are you alright?
Oh I must be fine because my hearts still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside
Sarah said it's fine she don't consider it cheating now
(aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaa,aaaaa)
Can't think of anything to do
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
He's just looking for something new
Well I've said once before but it bears repeating now

    I like this song more than the white stripes version. I just don't think that the white stripes have talent but that is another issue. I mean Jack writes wondrfully but.. eh. Joss gives it something new she breathes life into a fundamentally lifeless song.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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,
