The dirty leaves are sailing
On a hot wind ocean
And the summer comes
And the summer goes and always has & will
And something somewhere
That you said goes ricochet
All through my head
And flashing like a neon sign
The time stand still

Hours of forever. coming all together
At the crossroads of a minute.
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming,
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today.... days and days

And still the whining of the wheels
Sounds closest to the way I feel and
Winter comes, and winter goes,
And always has & will
Another hour, another day, another year
You pissed away
Remember walking in the rain?
I?m walking there still.

Like every heart to beat before
And every wave to kiss a shore
I?m not the first, I?m not the last...
And soon to be your past
But every mourning, when the light
Comes creeping in around my eyes
Another future falls behind
The one I had I mind

    Song Fact

    The correct lyrics are:

    The dirty leaves are sailing On a hot wind ocean And summer comes and summer goes And always has and will And something somewhere that you said Goes ricochet all through my head And flashing like a neon sign The time stood still Hours of forever Running all together At the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days)

    Still the winding of the wheels Is closest to the way I feel And winter comes and winter goes And always has and will Another hour, another day Another year you pissed away Remember walking in the rain? I'm walking there still And it's hours of forever Runnin' all together Like the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days Oh yeah yeah

    Yeah ah ah ah ahhhh

    Like every heart to beat before And every wave to kiss the shore I'm not the first, I'm not the last And soon to be your past But every morning when the light Comes creeping in around my eyes Another future falls behind The one I had I mind It's always up forever Running all together Like the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days (days and days) Days and days, yeah Days and days and days and days Days and days and days and days Hours and the minutes and the years and the days Forever It seems like forever It seems like a day Yeahhh ahh

    And seriously, people need to stop putting the stupid ellipses all over the damned place. An ellipsis means you left something out. It's not a pause.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
