i lost my wallet
i lost my wallet
and i'm lost dear
i swear i had it
i had it on me
when we got here

let's go to vegas
lets get a karaoke backroom
i'll never find it
i wanna shout into the vacuum

that nothing's ever
lost forever
it's just caught
inside the cushions
of your couch
and when you find it you'll have
such a nice surprise
nothing's ever lost forever
it's just hiding
in the recess of your mind
and when you need it it will
come to you at night

HO!

i miss the yellow
i miss the yelling
and the shakedown
i'm not complaining
i got a better set of knives now

i miss my drummer
my dead stepbrother
and the pit crowd
and chuck and matty
if they could see me
they'd be so proud
but nothing's ever lost forever
it's just caught
inside the cushions
of your couch
and when you find it you'll have
such a nice surprise
nothing's ever lost forever
it's just hiding
in the recess of your mind
and when you need it will come
to you at night

the wake is over
we gotta leave
because they said so
i want to tell you
i want to tell you
but you're dead so

golden light so
way up high so
wave goodbye

tonight you'll find that
nothing's ever lost forever
it's just caught
inside the cushions
of your couch
and when you find it you'll have
such a nice surprise
nothing's ever lost forever
it's just hiding
in the recess of your mind
and when you need it
it will come to you at night

no one's ever lost forever
when they die they go away
but they will visit
you occasionally
do not be afraid
no one's ever lost forever
they are caught
inside your heart
if you garden them
and water them
they make you what you are
no one's ever lost forever
when they die they go away
but they will visit
you occasionally
do not be afraid
no one's ever lost forever
they are caught
inside your heart
if you garden them
and water them
they make you what you are

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
