Every time you say what I already know,
no matter how much further I have to go,
pulling my breaks as I squeal over the line.
This feeling I get that we're over and done
is killing me faster than end number one,
and though your eyes are staring through me,
I won't ask you "why".

You don't return my calls
through my empty walls.
The pavement screaming,
"Stop the car tonite."

It's the last ride
of my last night.
Police lights flashing,
it's over, we're crashing.
The last night
of my last life,
and I'm running out of gas
watching you pass me by.

Highway signs pass as cables go by.
I never knew what you were feeling inside,
looking over glasses, tired of asking me "why."
Car-crash boxes stacked high on the street,
reflecting concern from all that I meet,
and though their eyes are staring through me,
I can't answer "why."

You don't return my calls
through my empty walls,
the pavement screaming,
"Stop the car tonite."

It's the last ride
of my last night.
Police lights flashing,
it's over, we're crashing.
The last night
of my last life,
and I'm running out of gas
watching you pass me by.

You don't return my calls
through my empty walls.
The pavement's screaming,
"Stop the car,
stop the car."
Stop the car tonite...

It's the last ride
of my last night.
Police lights flashing,
it's over, we're crashing.
The last night
of my last life,
and I'm running out of gas
watching you pass me by.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
