Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

Ooh, Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake 'em
I ain't got none, but I'm plannin' on growin' some
Imagine all the Hebrews goin' dumb
Dancin' on top of chariots and turnin' tight ones
Ooh, tell me when to go (dumb)
Talkin' on my Ghettro on my way to the store
My second or third trip
Some Henny, some Swishers and some Listerine strips
Dr. Greenthumb lips, just to ease my thoughts
Not just the cops, but the homies you got to watch
The moon is full, look at the dark clouds
Sittin' in my scraper, watchin' Oakland Gone Wild, ta-dow
I don't bump mainstream, I knock underground
All that other shit, sugarcoated and watered down
I'm from the Bay where we hyphy and go dumb
From the soil where them rappers be gettin' their lingo from

Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

I'm off that 18 dummy juice
Nigga, Raggaman, labeled the Black Zeus
King of the super duper hyphy (hyphy, hyphy, hyphy, hyphy)
Pipey in your wifey, you don't like me (like me, like me, like me, like me)
From the Bay to the A
Put me in a Backwood, Swisher sweet blunt, orange lace dope (let's go)
It's just some shit I wrote
My city couldn't be saved by John the Pope (John the Pope)
I slid past on the gas with the bitches at me
I'm good (it's good), it's good like the granddaddy
Cross game, you get flipped like a burger patty
Or zig-zagged, pass me the big old fatty
I drink white, with a snow bunny
Talkin' big shit in the scraper, goin' hella dummy
1800, Jose Cuervo
Yadadamean? Y'all know what I'm sayin' though?

Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

Now let me direct traffic for a minute (talk to 'em, pimp)
Let me tell you about this hyphy movement we got goin' in the Bay
When I say somethin' you say it right back at me, you smell me?
We gon' do it like this right here (how we gon' do it?)

Ghostride the whip, ghostride the whip
Ghostride the whip, ghostride the whip
Now scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape
Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape
Put your stunna shades on, put your stunna shades on
Put your stunna shades on, put your stunna shades on
Now gas, brake, dip, dip
Gas, brake, dip, dip
Shake them dreads, shake them dreads
Shake them dreads, shake them dreads
Let me see you show your grill, let me see you show your grill
Let me see you show your grill, let me see you show your grill
Now thizz face, thizz face
Thizz face, thizz face
Doors open, mayne, doors open, mayne
Doors open, mayne, doors open, mayne
Now watch 'em swang, watch 'em swang
Now watch 'em swang, watch 'em swang
Go stupid, go dumb, go dumb
Go stupid, go dumb, go dumb

Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Tell me when to go
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

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.

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,

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.
