Shelter

The Alarm

Shelter, oh

I've been branded
I've been washed up and left for dead
I've been cast out from this world

I'm in exile
I'm stranded on the streets
Ain't got no place left to run

No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down

c'mon and take me to the shelter

SHELTER give me what I want tonight shelter
SHELTER take me undercover tonight
SHELTER

I've been tortured
I've been raging in the breach
In this wicked world

Persecution
I've been carrying my cross
I've been down there on my knees

No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down

Come on and take me to the shelter

SHELTER give me what I want tonight shelter
SHELTER running undercover tonight shelter
SHELTER

Come on and take me to the shelter

SHELTER give me what I want tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER Sleeping on the streets tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
