Tell me a story
How you beat the giants
How you make this little world spin
You're such a riot
You're a genius of the worst kind
You're a martyr in your own mind

Why do you have to be the one
That loves to hurt me so
Why must i be the one
That just cant let go

Tell me a story
Of your long lost desire
Of the weight of the world
And the beautiful liar
I've seen good intentions face down on the floor
You scratch my back
I'll stab yours

Why do you have to be the one
That loves to hurt me so
Why must i be the one
That just cant let go

I am a rock
With no hard feelings
The cynical backlash
Has got me reeling

We've lost your results
We've lost all ideals
So hows the wife doing
And how do you feel

Why do you have to be the one
That loves to hurt me so
Why must i be the one
That just cant let go

    This song is actually about a guy at his record label [his old record label so no, not Robby.] who really just made him feel like crap. TJ was a teenager at the time. I have the video from the MIA Live at the Center where he explains it somewhere....

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,
