I looked down from the Carillon
I looked across to the aviary
How long have they been having fun?

I want to be among them
Sitting pretty drinking Evian
I don't think that it will be long

And I will never go down fighting
And I will never go down fighting

I want to do it on the tennis courts
I want to do it where they are playing sport
So they can make sport of this man

Will I find myself traveling?
Will I find myself in therapy?
Or leap and just see where I land

Well, it is cold, cold, cold
(I will never go down fighting)
And I think I'm gonna die in here
Considering Loughborough suicide
(I will never go down fighting)
Which I'm definitely going to do this year

And if you take a look outside
(I will never go down fighting)
Then the answers to your questions seem quite clear
That you may as well leave
(I will never go down fighting)
As there's nothing else to do around here

How long have I been inside?
How long have I been inside?
How long have I been inside?

How long have I been inside?
How long have I been inside?
How long have I been inside?

How long have I been inside?
How long have I been inside?

Well, it is cold, cold, cold
And I, I think I'm gonna die in here
Considering Loughborough suicide
Which I'm definitely going to do this year

And if you take a look outside
Then the answers to your questions seem quite clear
That you may as well leave
As there's nothing else to do around here

Well, it is cold, cold, cold
(I will never go down fighting)
And I think I'm gonna die in here
Considering Loughborough suicide
(I will never go down fighting)
Which I'm definitely going to do this year

And if you take a look outside
(I will never go down fighting)
Then the answers to your questions seem quite clear
That you may as well leave
(I will never go down fighting)
As there's nothing else to do around here

I will never go down fighting
And I will never go down fighting
And I will never go down fighting
And I will never go down fighting

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,
