Goddess

Mark Sandman

For a thousands years woman's walked the streets in fear
For a thousand years a woman's had to walk the streets in fear
There goes the man bullying the woman as he walks through life
There goes the man bullying the woman as he walks through life
And then livin the life

I tell you something brother, the Goddess will return
?
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn

And a man can't understand that all he wants is the upper hand
Man can't quite understand, when all he wants is the upper hand
And the word knows cant believe he said she cant be talking to me
And the word knows he cant believe he thinks she cant be talking to me, she's not talking to me

I'll tell you something brother, the Goddess will return
?
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn

For a thousand years, the woman's had to walk in fear
For a thousand years, the woman's had to walk consumed in fear
He had a ?for the self esteem, and he blames it on sexuality

I'll tell you something brother, the Goddess will return

You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn

    Am I the only one that hears the word 'fuck' in this song, perhaps:

    "He had a fuck for the self esteem..."?

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.
