Ayo
What up to all the prairie dog colonies in the thread some condominiums

Let's do this

I never talk about how I'm a vegan cause I recall how cats used to rub each others nose in it
On some what kind of shoes are those, all I know I prefer a couple dogs than most human beings
Used to pick veins out my chicken legs, till I found out how hotdogs are made
Always treated like a personal choice, but changing your habits does little to defend those that have no voice
Shouts to Charlotte's Web and the pets we kept, R I P to those that died in a cage
Playing god is harder than you think ask anyone who's had a salt water tank
And I don't get how Pro-Lifers wanna save a fetus, but will bash a cow's skull in and milk it till it bleeds
You drink pus and blood in your milk and say that the food that I'm eating is strange
I've been vegetarian for twenty-four years my bones don't break, it ain't your fault your society is sick
You've spawned so many forms of prejudice that you escape blame, someday we'll view all life on earth as the same
Think nothing of eating pigs you wouldn't eat a dog, even if pigs are smarter and feel the same pain
I can't stand PETA videos with cow's squirming hung on conveyor belts

They're supposed to be tools to educate but they make us look insane
I can't watch like I can't view photos of the holocaust not to equivocate
But how is 200 billion deaths a year not a holocaust, especially when half of it goes to waste
The native would do dances to honor the sacrifice, you watch the game

Cars & Trains
Grass grows though cracks sidewalk style, recognizing all they can
Grass grows though cracks sidewalk style, recognizing all they can

The San Francisco zoo is a depressing place it's so cold, that's why the animals there are sad
Shouts to the Siberian tiger, Tatiana that mauled those dudes after they threw shit at her
Escaped the cage and wondered the grounds for half of an hour, until she found 'em in the café
They ain't laughing in their graves
Everybody loved Jumbo the Elephant, but he was trained with a barbed razor spear
Kept in a cell for most of the day, was so depressed and angry his trainer had to get him drunk to perform
Enough about mankind though, yeah nature's brutal
It's full of booms and busts and droughts
But were supposed to be better than that and our bodies weren't designed to eat meat
'cause our intestines run thirty feet, and our teeth aren't razor sharp
And our claws are fingers evolved for picking fruit and building shit
Not trying to tell anyone how to live, but next time you eat an egg think about a chicken's period
Not trying to be on a soap-box, but picture your dog or your cat in the slaughterhouse

Cars & Trains
Grass grows though cracks sidewalk style, recognizing all they can
Grass grows though cracks sidewalk style, recognizing all they can

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
