No fuel for the engine
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
High overhead to the sun rising in the sky
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking; life will go on
I know how it feels when you think you're the only one
No fuel for the engine
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
A flag at full staff
You won't admit defeat
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
High overhead to the sun rising in the sky
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
High overhead to the sun rising in the sky
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking; life will go on
I know how it feels when you think you're the only one
No fuel for the engine
No meal for the hungry mouth
They say that clothes make the man
And you are made into a funeral shroud
A flag at half mast
Do you admit defeat?
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
A flag at full staff
You won't admit defeat
Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing
Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
High overhead to the sun rising in the sky
The reason to live is the reason to question why
Keep fighting, keep thinking

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
good song...good lyrics
