Part of the Queue

Oasis

So then be off, find that I've lost my way in the city
The streets and the thousands of colors all bleed into one
I fall down, Heaven won't help me
I call out, no-one would hear
All of a sudden I've lost my way out of the City

Stand tall, stand proud
Every beginning is breaking it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding some soul in this town

The names on the faces in places, they mean nothing to me
It's all they can do to be part of a queue in this town
I fall down, Heaven won't help me
I call out, no-one will hear
"There'll be no tomorrow" they say, well I'll say "More's the pity"

Stand tall, stand proud
Every beginning has broken it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding my soul in this town

Stand tall, stand proud
Every beginning has broken it's promise
I'm having trouble just finding my soul in this town

Finding my soul in this town
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying
Keep on trying

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,
