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.
You and your lipstick on your collar,
Blamed it on your sick grandmother
In hospital so i let it go,
Even though it was impossible.
She's been gone for 20 years
and what about the line at the cinema
caught holding hands
You said she was
your long lost cousin from Japan!
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
God This Hurts
I really really want your blood
make you pay for my pain
You were a fool to break my heart
caught with your hands in her cookie jar
didn't have to lie, didn't need to cheat
Should have come to me for something to eat
wasn't i sweet enough?
All of your friends think you're so tough
But guess what?
You're Not!
Don't you see?
You're a loser cause you lost me!
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
God This Hurts
I really really want your blood
make you pay for my pain
You were a fool to break my heart
You were the fool who broke my heart
God This Hurts
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
Wish it would
You know i really wish it could
The love we had wont come back
God this hurts!
I really really want your blood
Make you pay for my pain
Blamed it on your sick grandmother
In hospital so i let it go,
Even though it was impossible.
She's been gone for 20 years
and what about the line at the cinema
caught holding hands
You said she was
your long lost cousin from Japan!
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
God This Hurts
I really really want your blood
make you pay for my pain
You were a fool to break my heart
caught with your hands in her cookie jar
didn't have to lie, didn't need to cheat
Should have come to me for something to eat
wasn't i sweet enough?
All of your friends think you're so tough
But guess what?
You're Not!
Don't you see?
You're a loser cause you lost me!
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
God This Hurts
I really really want your blood
make you pay for my pain
You were a fool to break my heart
You were the fool who broke my heart
God This Hurts
God This Hurts
It really couldn't get much worse
the love we had
won't come back
Wish it would
You know i really wish it could
The love we had wont come back
God this hurts!
I really really want your blood
Make you pay for my pain

Yo La Tengo
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.
