Rain on my window
Tears in my eyes
Why must I always
Be the one that's left with pride
You say it's over
You don't want me around
Well I'm leavin' you baby
For the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
You think I'm lonely
Well that's for sure
But don't worry baby
I've been there before
And if you need me
Well, I can be found
Hiding my heartache
On the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
My hearts forsaken
You've been untrue
It hurts me baby
But I know just what to do
I'll pack my suitcase
And I'll see you around
Take all my troubles
To the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
I hang around
Blue side of town
Tears in my eyes
Why must I always
Be the one that's left with pride
You say it's over
You don't want me around
Well I'm leavin' you baby
For the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
You think I'm lonely
Well that's for sure
But don't worry baby
I've been there before
And if you need me
Well, I can be found
Hiding my heartache
On the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
My hearts forsaken
You've been untrue
It hurts me baby
But I know just what to do
I'll pack my suitcase
And I'll see you around
Take all my troubles
To the blue side of town
Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams
On the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel
Yes I know it well
I hang around
Blue side of town
I hang around
Blue side of town

Holiday

@[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.

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
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.
