Hai un po' preteso troppo, già depositato in banca
Testa, gelosia e poi pazienza a volontà (no, no, no, no)
Approfittare dei miei punti deboli funziona
Ma alle lunghe anche il più fedele se ne va (no, no)
Con te parli, sbagli
Taci, sbagli
Canti, sbagli
Troppi, sbagli
Il primo posto dentro al cuore tocca a te
Tutti gli altri posti dentro al cuore sempre a te
Adesso passo col rosso
Non ho più addosso
Te che mi urli, troppi sbagli
Occhi prigionieri quelli miei di ieri
Cuore a calamita per chi non si fida

Mia nonna dice chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu
Chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu
Perdi tu
Perdi tu (la perdi tu)
Perdi tu, perdi tu, perdi tu

Hai consumato gli ultimi residui di calma
Messo a dura prova la mia buona volontà
Che amore giuro fino all'altro ieri era tanta (eh sì)
Bruciata ormai dalla morbosa possessività
Con te, ridi, sbagli
Sogni, sbagli
Corri, sbagli
Troppi sbagli
Il primo sguardo la mattina tocca a te
Tutti gli altri sguardi successivi sempre a te
Cuore battagliero per un uomo fiero
Sguardo un po' pentito per chi l'ha subito

Mia nonna dice chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu
Chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu
Perdi tu (la perdi tu)
Perdi tu (perdi tu)
Perdi tu

Parlerai piano però ti sento
Come la neve passa dal finestrino del mio treno
Io ti guardo e ti saluto dimenticarti mi sembra strano
Ti dico a voce bassa: "Sono un po' stanco, stammi lontano"
Io So che l'istinto non sbaglia
No che l'istinto non sbaglia

Mia nonna dice chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu
Chi cerca trova
Ma chi non trova
Cerca troppo e a forza di cercare cade giù
Il buono è buono ma il meglio è meglio
Sfidi la sorte e guarda caso perdi tu

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
