To live the life to live
Take my life and look at it, you can feel you can--
Drop this winde, spill the spit out upon the floor
Look at it, "Stand up you fool let Thunderbird soar."
To shine the boot that walks on the road
that leads to here
To stop, and sit and think about the way
things might have been
To waste my bottled tise, you fool this is not
a joke.
Take my life and look at it you can love, you leave--
Drop my wine, break vines that grown on and on
Look at me, "Give up you fool this joke won't last long."
To smother our past with blantant lies, it can't
work in here
To forget, release, to drop, to let, "Sorry I'm
still here."
"Leave him alone, leave his alone, he's deaf, he's drunk,
he's crazy."
Took his life and held it high is what they did
"Drop back in. "I tried, just one if I'd have hid
"Look at his, "you smile, "seven pounds, four ounces."
To take this life
"The worst is over, "you're thinking about the mother
on that last one aren't you?
To give up the ghost
To recieve my life
To cork the bottle
To recieve my life
To give up the ghost
Take my life and look at it, you can feel you can--
Drop this winde, spill the spit out upon the floor
Look at it, "Stand up you fool let Thunderbird soar."
To shine the boot that walks on the road
that leads to here
To stop, and sit and think about the way
things might have been
To waste my bottled tise, you fool this is not
a joke.
Take my life and look at it you can love, you leave--
Drop my wine, break vines that grown on and on
Look at me, "Give up you fool this joke won't last long."
To smother our past with blantant lies, it can't
work in here
To forget, release, to drop, to let, "Sorry I'm
still here."
"Leave him alone, leave his alone, he's deaf, he's drunk,
he's crazy."
Took his life and held it high is what they did
"Drop back in. "I tried, just one if I'd have hid
"Look at his, "you smile, "seven pounds, four ounces."
To take this life
"The worst is over, "you're thinking about the mother
on that last one aren't you?
To give up the ghost
To recieve my life
To cork the bottle
To recieve my life
To give up the ghost

@[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

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,

The choice between the life and the grape juice . . . But what mean the ghost and bottle and the thunderbird in this song?:-D
