Look at my skin
All these cracks remind me
Of someplace I've been
Here in the morning sun

Look in my eye
I'm still far
From being flawless
But I try
Every morning sun

Everything's coming back
To where it
Once began
Someday
We'll spread our ashes
In the streets
Just to rise again

Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
As we strike the colors
Dawn goes down to day
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all

Look at my face
Took some time
For all these lines
To find their place
Here in the morning sun

Dig in my head
Some of the pages
Are still unread
But I know
Dice can be rolled again
After all we've been through
Old and new
Didn't we have it all

Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
As we strike the colors
Dawn goes down to day
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all

Like any has got an out
Lows other side is high
And every love we care about
At some point makes us cry
We fight a war and kiss a star
It's all part of who we are

Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all
As we strike the colors
Dawn goes down to day
Didn't we have it all
Didn't we almost have it all

Look at my shoes
Though they're stained
They always know
Wich way to choose
Into the morning sun

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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
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.
