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.
La vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas, mademoiselle Brown
Et le coeur se déchire quand
Les chiens sont lâchés
Amour, amour anglaise modern style
Ou Européen recyclé
Les intermittences de nos coeurs
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, qu'elle crève de douleur
La vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
Les pays sont fait de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent plus, mademoiselle Brown
Où on court dans la rue pour sauver sa peau
Mademoiselle Brown
Où les amants crèvent sur les
Ponts comme des pigeons, tirés par les cons
Où on ne dort que d'un oeil
Si insomniaque est le deuil, est le deuil
La vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
Barbare modern style, européen, petite ordure
L'éminence de nos peurs
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, qu'elle crève
De douleur, de douleur, de douleur
Petite ordure la vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
A la guerre comme à l'amour
Faut cueillir tel quel, le prochain jour
Et dans l'absolu de l'horreur
Exprimer la secrète douceur
De toute blessure à mort qui
N'est pas là encore
De toutes ces blessures à mort qui
Ne sont pas là encore
Qui ne se joignent pas, mademoiselle Brown
Et le coeur se déchire quand
Les chiens sont lâchés
Amour, amour anglaise modern style
Ou Européen recyclé
Les intermittences de nos coeurs
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, qu'elle crève de douleur
La vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
Les pays sont fait de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent plus, mademoiselle Brown
Où on court dans la rue pour sauver sa peau
Mademoiselle Brown
Où les amants crèvent sur les
Ponts comme des pigeons, tirés par les cons
Où on ne dort que d'un oeil
Si insomniaque est le deuil, est le deuil
La vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
Barbare modern style, européen, petite ordure
L'éminence de nos peurs
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, qu'elle crève
De douleur, de douleur, de douleur
Petite ordure la vie est faite de morceaux
Qui ne se joignent pas
A la guerre comme à l'amour
Faut cueillir tel quel, le prochain jour
Et dans l'absolu de l'horreur
Exprimer la secrète douceur
De toute blessure à mort qui
N'est pas là encore
De toutes ces blessures à mort qui
Ne sont pas là encore

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

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,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
