This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh, it's a shame that I have to tape over
Those elysian smiles I thought I'd keep forever
I remember it all like it was yesterday
Forget it all, set it down, hit record, and back away
My intestines are fastening laces
Intolerable to fucking untangle
These vigilant eyes can't keep off the timekeepers
Second-hand every angle
What's keeping you waiting? Usually out before I open my eyes
Why did you pick today to epilate between your thighs?
Are you waiting for his tongue to come?
And brush against your cleaned trimmed hair?
I hope he knows, that curvilinear gyrating space
Won't be the only thing he'll taste down there
Stop to think about it, if we've both flooded the same skin
You've tasted me, I've tasted you
Who knows how many places my tongue has been?
My tongue has been
I left, you stayed, I hoped and prayed
That these nauseating thoughts weren't true
Before we met, I wouldn't bet
I would give up nihilism for you
Nothing ever made sense, was I even real?
Took everything I wouldn't touch, and made me feel (Hell yeah!)
I had all my faith in you
That you would never commit an act of deceit
To wake up in the ante meridian
Knowing there would be solid ground to support my feet
If it is alright (if it is alright) to conceal the truth
Then when does the concealment end, and lying begin?
Tell me when? Tell me when? This is a maudlin motion picture
A theme song in search of a movie
I've got the perfect script to match this tune
Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon?
Let's not ruin the surprise
I don't buy these incredulous denials
Do you think you've found the exit t o your escape?
I really shouldn't be thinking this way
It would put my mind at ease if I caught your ass on tape
There'll be no excuses baby
I'll forward this to your friends and family
Maybe I should reconsider this diagnosis
Let's think things out before we conclude
Commonly a virtuoso at these procedures
But this was the saddest thing my eyes have ever viewed
The postmeridian hours that we performed
Seemed like such a perfunctory routine
But I can obviously tell by the footage here
That you're in love with his machine
How could you do this to me?
Next time you won't get out so easily
Now that I know what I'm up against, I came prepared
Bat in hand, behind the closest door I painfully stared
Say "hello" to this bark, in-between your teeth
Soon you will also be bleeding from underneath
It took balls to do what you've done
Having your manhood in your mouth is no fun
And as for you darling, you're going nowhere
It's kind of hard to move when you're tied to a chair
See there's a twist to this lovely, for you to see
What's hiding in your wardrobe isn't a shopping spree
Come out to stilts supporting the wait of lust
I always thought you were someone I could always trust
Now watch this, we're smacking flesh
I'm sure you don't even care
But with your eyelids sewn back to your brows
This leaves you forced to stare
With a wire wrapped around his neck
Tightly tied to a tree
There he stood on the top of the cliff
With his inanimate life above the sea
He drinks his virulent drink
And sets himself on fire
Pulls the trigger through the mid-air
Misses his head, and snaps the wire
Now choking and strangling in the water
His body begins to sink
Not only did that put out the flames
But he regurgitated his drink
This wasn't the worse thing that could happen... yes it is
We're dying slowing again
We're dying slowly again?
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die! (Oh don't you love to play it back, and watch it all over?)
Stop! Rewind! Watch them die! (Oh don't you love to play it back, and watch it all over?)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
I think he's in a relationship with a girl. He goes to work during the day and that's when his girlfriend cheats on him with another guy. (Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon?)
He gets suspicious and puts a video camera in their room and sees that she's cheating on him. (I really shouldn't be thinking this way, It would put my mind at ease, If I caught your ass on tape.)
He then ties the girl up and sews her eyes to her eyebrows and forces her to watch him kill the guy she was cheating on him with. (Say "hello" to this bark, in-between your teeth. Soon you will also be bleeding from underneath. It took balls to do what you've done. Having your manhood in your mouth is no fun. And as for you darling, you're going no where, It's kind of hard to move when you're tied to a chair.) (But with your eyelids sown back to your brows. This leaves you forced to stare.)
