She was a murderess in a million dollar dress
Far from these haunted shores she went
She was a billionaire just like the girl with flaxen hair
A beauty queen from the scene she had been set
Beneath those wide dark eyes
She was never satsified

Please Venus lay your head down low
Tomorrow find somewhere else to call your home
When you rise again the dunes will dance
The sand will sing the silver shells will glow
O your love has gone but your not alone

So as she left the sands
A dream boat with hard lock hands
Fingers full of pearl rings
Should have seen her shake her tambourine
And her pride and joy, was her darling boy
He came invisible and disappeared into the screen
And beneath those city lights
Her heart started beating like dynamite

Please venus lay your head down low
Tomorrow find somewhere else to call your home
When you rise again the dunes will dance
The sand will sing the silver shells will glow
O your love has gone but your not alone

And you'll find her at the fairground
At the end of the pier
Watching all the ships go by
With the shell against her ear
And now she takes her leave
Cos there's nothing left here to believe
And she walks beneath the waves once more
She rides again
Riding a shell some kind of hollow eve
And walks upon new golden shore
And if you see her go ask her where's she's been
Just kneel and follow the sound of that tambourine

Please venus lay your head down low
Tomorrow find somewhere else to call your home
When you rise again the dunes will dance
The sand will sing the silver shells will glow
O your love has gone but your not alone (x2)

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.

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,

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
