On my first round up
Got a triple header, nothin better
Anything spectacular, that's me
I had you on the first thing
Smokin to my paradise?
Only you would be the one to not know what it is
Tell me? Tell Me?
Who made you better?
Who kept it ready? when you need it good and ready?
Good comeback got you sweating
Just one more question
Oh why you're sweatin
Is it cause it's too much pressure
Maybe now you learned your lesson

I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself

Call me strange, whatever
I know I can love me better
Than the little boy
That's tryin to be a man
Got caught up in your hype
Now you missed the spot light
You thought you was a star
Now I'm snatchin your lime light

Tell me? Tell Me?
Who made you better?
Who kept it ready? when you need it good and ready?
Good comeback kept you sweating
Just one more question
Did you think you wouldn't learn your lesson
Tryin to flex on me

I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself

Used to be closer, now we be on different continents
I done packed me some confidence
Got you saying that I'm a trip
Had to flip the script on you
I played my roll and like I'm proud of it
Ladies promises ?
Damn at least we could honor ?
Presidential suite in rome, baby girl I'm dialin in
And I know you're phone on silent mode
But pick it up I'm calling in
And I notice that your a star and all
But girl I keep you shining
And if I must I will remind you that
And I would definitely ?

I'm going back to my first love
Cause that's the lover, that loves me the best (the best)
Since you're not half the man I am
I guess I'll be loving myself
I'm going back to my first love
The lover, that loves me the best
I'm going back to my first love
Guess I'll be loving myself

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.
