Set on how we come to terms
No one listens, no one learns
Doors are locked, the witches burned

Fresh face stale irony affords
An audience that pays to score
The climax kills the scream for more

Loved your speech
You're the flavor of the week
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar
Take it all the way
The lights and masquerade
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar all the same

These shoes fit, so does your mouth
So dress it out and wear it out
They swoon suspending any doubt

Cause this is where the story ends
And yes they're drinking what you spent
Doting, feeble and content

Loved your speech
You're the flavor of the week
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar
Take it all the way
The lights and masquerade
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar all the same

One time...really is a shame
Two times...written on your face
Three times...you're a perfect disaster
Hey kid, you got it mastered

One time...really is a shame
Two times...written on your face
Three times...you're a perfect disaster
Hey kid...

Loved your speech
You're the flavor of the week
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar
Take it all the way
The lights and masquerade
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a liar all the same

Way to go...
(You're a liar, I'm a liar, this is all we have)
Way to go...
(You're a liar, I'm a liar, this is all we have)
That's right man, way to go
Yeah, that's right man
Way to go!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
