This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Another time and a place
Another slap in the face
And I don't know what it takes
To be loved by you
Another shot in the dark
And now it's falling apart
But I won't let my heart
Be broken by you
I feel for you
You can try to break me down and then
Like a phoenix I will rise again
I always do
I always do!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Another simple mistake
It's causing hearts to break
And stirring up a wake
That was left by you
I don't think I can wait
Because I'm setting the pace
I'm going to finish the race
'cause I started to
I always do
You can try to take the rest of me
But you'll never get the best of me
I won't let go
I won't let go!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Until that final day
I won't walk away
You're not the end of me
Won't get the best of me
You are not the end!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Another slap in the face
And I don't know what it takes
To be loved by you
Another shot in the dark
And now it's falling apart
But I won't let my heart
Be broken by you
I feel for you
You can try to break me down and then
Like a phoenix I will rise again
I always do
I always do!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Another simple mistake
It's causing hearts to break
And stirring up a wake
That was left by you
I don't think I can wait
Because I'm setting the pace
I'm going to finish the race
'cause I started to
I always do
You can try to take the rest of me
But you'll never get the best of me
I won't let go
I won't let go!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees
Until that final day
I won't walk away
You're not the end of me
Won't get the best of me
You are not the end!
I won't let you win
You are not the end of me (you are not the end!)
I won't let you win
I won't let you bring me to my knees

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,
