And I can still see the eyes
His brown eyes
He was looking deeper into me than I would've liked
Nah I don't have any change on me man, I'm sorry
Could've made a contribution
And I can still see the eyes
Her green eyes
She was busy with her friends
But I wanted her to notice me, like
Yo, how are you?
Yeah nah, I've never been more content
Could've told her the truth
And I can still see the eyes
The red eyes of those around me
They like doing it
And wish to grow into the shoes of their idols
What nah nah it's cool man
It's really, it's not me but
Thanks anyway
Could've had a fun night
And I can still see the eyes
His brown eyes
He was looking deeper into me than I would've liked
And I don't have any change on me man, I'm sorry

But I should've given him the coins in my pockets
Could've stopped and opened my wallet
Should've done what's right because he wants it
But who doesn't want it
See money is the only motive
But money is a sin and I loath it
The reason we're waiting for something
The only reason why people are hungry, child
People are hungry now
Money, the reason that we can't make money
The reason why a prick is running the country
No matter when you hear this note
There's always gonna be a prick running this country
But you better get your votes in
(Let's get your votes in)
Best get your votes in
Because
They know best

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
