This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
fell like a crippled crow spinning through and breaking branches
i'm in a bad way
call my friends they'll know what to do
i'm a better friend than i've ever been a lover
and that's not saying much
but i'm not saying much today
in this cellular age phone sex is too expensive
not as handsome as my brother
but i've been lucky with disease
and yes i'm a better friend
than i've ever been a lover
and that's not saying much
but i'm not saying much today
i'm in a bad way
call my friends they'll know what to do
i'm a better friend than i've ever been a lover
and that's not saying much
but i'm not saying much today
in this cellular age phone sex is too expensive
not as handsome as my brother
but i've been lucky with disease
and yes i'm a better friend
than i've ever been a lover
and that's not saying much
but i'm not saying much today

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.

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,

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.

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.
I loved this song on Season 2 of Nip/Tuck........this song is so mellow, it's great to listen to when you just want to chill out. Kinda existential though.
It isn't on Asleep on the back. I'm guessing it's a b side
i love this song too i heard it on nip/tuck but i cant seem to download it :( i just have it from a website i have to open just to hear it
I loveeee this song. The music is so beautiful, and the lyrics are great.
This song is now on Dead In The Boot, a collection of out-takes etc. The whole album is better than most bands' main efforts!
