I can't look her in the eye
I can't look her in the eye
Every time I do it gets her mad mad mad
Every time she's mad it makes me glad glad glad that
I can't look her in the eye

X-ray specs, light reflects
She's burnin' a hole in my soul
I get in her line of fire, get hotwired
Say things just to confuse the issue at hand
You understand
Only the wrong survive

I can't look her in the eye
I can't look her in the eye
Every time I do it makes her cry cry cry
Every time she's cries I wanna run and hide cause
I can't look her in the eye

Ay-ay-ay
What have I done
What did I do to deserve this feeling of
Oh my my
Hey, what have we here?
What to her wondering eyes appear to me
Hey, wait and see
And see what happens next

I can't look her in the eye
I can't look her in the eye
Every time I do it makes her mad mad mad
Every time she's mad it makes me glad glad glad that
I can't look her in the eye

And if looks could kill
Then hers sure will
And if I were dead
She might hang somewhere else instead

Hey hey hey
What do I say
? no sir
What do you know know know
No no no
Rather you punchin' me out than
Sittin' through this this this, I'm remiss
Let's kiss and break up, because, because

I can't look her in the eye
I can't look her in the eye
Every time I do it makes her mad mad mad
Every time she's mad it makes me glad glad glad that
I can't look her in the eye
Every time I do it makes her mad mad mad
So I can't look her in the eye yi yi

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.

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.
