This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You are made of sugar, milk and molasses
So, little darlin' will attract all the bee's
You are the gazer, you are the attraction
Takes a little vanity to know what it means
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're giving up
I asked a question, give me an answer
You'll say the word, and I will disappear
You're running fast, but you can run faster
Heels to the dirt, gonna you make it clear.
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
You wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're given...
Darkness, And you can hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning, you will wake up alone
When your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake
You'll sing a song of your heart's complaint...
Sing it loud
Sing it clear
Sing so I can hear you
Then sing it soft in my ear
Take it all or take half, pull me down in the grass
I'd go anywhere with you.
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
You don't see it, you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
You don't see it, you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it
So, little darlin' will attract all the bee's
You are the gazer, you are the attraction
Takes a little vanity to know what it means
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're giving up
I asked a question, give me an answer
You'll say the word, and I will disappear
You're running fast, but you can run faster
Heels to the dirt, gonna you make it clear.
I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doin' just fine
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
You wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're given...
Darkness, And you can hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning, you will wake up alone
When your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake
You'll sing a song of your heart's complaint...
Sing it loud
Sing it clear
Sing so I can hear you
Then sing it soft in my ear
Take it all or take half, pull me down in the grass
I'd go anywhere with you.
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
You don't see it, you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
[Chorus]
Say there's something better
You don't see it, you won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it but you won't get it

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,
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
so catchy, gosh
I'm pretty sure it's "When your body breaks"
I love this song :D
About a guy who is always complaining about trying to find a good girl, but because he's charming with good looks (made of "sugar milk and molasses") he attracts all the wrong-maybe-shallow girls (bees) who burn/sting him in the end. Even though he knows this, he still goes for these type of girls. The girl in the song is saying.. 'look.. I'm the good girl you're looking for, right in front of you', but he can't see it. "Say there's something better - you don't see it you won't find it - say there's something better - you can have it but you won't get it" -- that line about sums it up.
That's my take on it at least. Great song.

It's "Take it all or take half", Also it's ""I know it cause you wrote it down a hundred times" (you're missing the first "it", sorry I know it's small I'm just a bit obsessive :] ). And I'm checking the lyrics by the booklet from the cd.
To me the part that says "I know it cause you wrote it down a hundred times, but just say that you're doing just fine" sounds like an argument
ooo Sorry it's also "Heels to the dirt 'til you make it clear" "Darkness you can hear me" "heart's complaint" "Little darlin' will attract all the bees" "Takes a little vanity to know what it means" (there's no "it" before "takes") and "but tonight, you're given darkness"

wow Museicalin that was amazing! thanks now i like the song even moree
I hate to disagree but I don't think this song is about complaints. It struck me much differently.
The boy (presumable composed of sugar, milk, and molasses) is the gazer, the attraction- a wonderful, sweet human being, but the last line 'it takes a little vanity to know what it means' suggests that the boy does not know what it means and that he is not aware of who he is. The pre-chorus reveals that the narrator is familiar with him and that she knows that something is wrong though he denies it. It struck as him having depression perhaps... Or at least that he is holding in things and not seeing himself for what he is and that he dances around the subject by never giving her questions answers. But even though she hopes he wil start to feel better there is a cold moon rising. Especially because she refers to him as 'Darkness'... it suggests that he has a 'dark' side about him. In the second verse as well, it seems to allude to him trying to escape his problems or his life by running fast. But- because he could run fast, he is still acknowledging their presence and the fact that they could do something about it... But he just hasn't got the energy to carry on.
It becomes obvious that the girl is in love with this shadow of a boy, but he is blind to her love. She wants him to see her and realize her or to at the very least feel or hope for somethign better than what there is at that moment in time.
Oh, and the 'singing songs of hearts complaints'- that part of the song- is talking about what it would be like if he were to let all his emotions and anger and frustration and sadness and confusion out. There would be so much that it would cause an earthquake. But she knows that he needs to open this bottle regardless.
