We're given a garden
And gave back a parking lot
We got about fifteen minutes to go

Before this audience
Starts throwing tomatoes, yeah
It's not the end, there is more show
We got about fifteen minutes to go

Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune, deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?

I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
And pull that red T-lever down

To get their attention
Start lobbing the light grenades
That burst and blind them with the truth
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune, deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?

Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are

Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune, deafening bells
My God

Survived the plague, floated the flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Come on, remember who you are
Come on, remember who you are
Come on, remember who you are
Remember, remember
Come on, remember who you are
Remember, remember
Come on, remember who you are

    O my... Great fucking song. I don't know if alot of people will like it though. Especially alot of the people who think they love Incubus now because of Anna Molly. This is the true Incubus. Either way though. I love this flippin' song.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
