Take a plane
Could be a thousand miles away
Take our time
Where clocks don't have too much to say
Take it slow
Live it all just day by day
You go alone
You wave goodbye and fly away

I often wonder what it's like
Oh
To leave this all and start a life
Oh
Some place new and out of touch
Oh
With all our ways, we'd know so much
Oh

Let's start again
We'll recreate our lives out there
Walk the plain
Feel the wind go through our hair
On a beach
Gather shells up from the sand
Or way down low
Where moonlight rises from the land

I often wonder what it's like
Oh
To leave this all and start a life
Oh
Some place new and out of touch
Oh
With all our ways, we'd know so much
Oh

    Clearly "walk the plank" rather than "walk the plain".

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,
