Fine, I understand
Okay with me
If that's the plan you can take the stereo
TV and the video the bed the sheets and pillows Before you go
But for now unlock the door
What are we doing all this for?
Let me make you dinner one last time
Then you'll go your way and I'll go mine

And I won't call you baby anymore
Won't call you baby like I did before
Won't call you baby anymore eleanor

You left your smell you left your taste
You left me here with my mistakes
And I can't relate to what you say I've done
Just for you I'll bite my tongue

And I won't call you baby anymore
Won't call you baby like I did before
Won't call you baby anymore
Eleanor I miss you
Eleanor be well
Eleanor I wish you'd release me from your spell
Come on
Eleanor
Do it
You can, do it

And I can't call you baby anymore
Won't call you baby like I did before
Won't call you baby anymore
No I can't call you baby anymore
Won't call you baby like I did before
Won't call you baby anymore Eleanor

    i love this song - completely catches the feelings of a breakup. suddenly all the bonds and ties created over the months are supposed to dissappear... the song portrays it exactly... plus the wonderful key changes, yeay!

    This song is just soo nice. I never would've listened to it if apple wasn't giving it for free on iTunes. Thats why I have it. Now I love it. I especially like when he says "Let me make you dinner one last time Then you'll go your way and I'll go mine"

    I'm a girl but most break-up songs are just about girls telling guys goodbye but now I'm glad to see guys like Maroon 5, Dashboard Confessional and Low Millions belting out these kind of tunes too

    "You know you're in trouble when the person once affectionately known to you as 'baby' now only responds to his or her first name. The revocation of such a small, crucial privilege can only signal bad times ahead."

    This song is decent. I'm not a big fan of the chorus, but I like the guitar riff after the chorus, thats kinda catchy

    This song sounds a lot like the Wallflowers. Actually, most of the songs I like off this album sound like they would have been very much at home on Breach.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
