How many times have you let me down
You never stay when you come around
I see no reason why you have to slip away

Come on in while I pour the wine
We'll drink it slow and take our time
No need to hurry
You don't have to slip away

I like the drawn out test to test
I like my feet right on the ground
I take a long time getting on
To matters close at hand
Why don't you stick around?

Why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?
I said, now why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?
I see no reason why should have to slip away

The time is ours so we'll raise a glass
Here we are alone at last
Don't have to worry
I won't let you get away

I like the drawn out test to test
I like my feet right on the ground
I take a long time getting on
To matters close at hand
Why don't you stick around?

Why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?
I said, now why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?

Why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?
I said now why don't you?
Why don't you stick around?
Oh, hoo, hoo
I see no reason why you have to slip away

Why don't you
Why don't you stick around?
I said, now why don't you
Why don't you stick around?
Oh, hoo, hoo
I see no reason why you have to slip away

Why don't you
Why don't you stick around?
I said now why don't you, why don't you?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
