Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Take care
Please, take care
Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is, I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Please, take care
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
In a way it is, I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air

Wow. I love both the original version of this song and the Yo La Tengo cover version. They both are endearing.
This one has an incredible shambolic feel to it and that's its charm.
If I didn't have the Ryko version of Third/Sister Lovers, I'd say this is a great way to end the album.
i agree... would've been a nice ending.

Most of Third has that feel, if you ask me, and that's what I love so much about it. Radio City has some enormous riffs and huge choruses, and #1 Record just might be a bit overrated for all its power-pop gravitas -- Third? A perfect artistic statement by the most overlooked band in guitar-rock history.

agreed. yo la tengo end summer sun with this track. it works very nicely.
Was a great ending for Third/Sister Lovers, as a warning to not fall into the emotional/business traps that Chilton was ensnared in. An entreat to take it easy and not let life get you down, told in a shambolic way. It's sad but has hope for the future.
I always thought it was "ideal books" but I guess "idea books" makes sense
