Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear
What the little fish are sayin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away
Down in the city streets,
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, to pass the time of day
The people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run,
See how they run, see how they run
Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I want to tell you
Some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country,
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again
The people turned away
The people turned away
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear
What the little fish are sayin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away
Down in the city streets,
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, to pass the time of day
The people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run,
See how they run, see how they run
Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I want to tell you
Some go twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country,
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again
The people turned away
The people turned away

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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
People turned away from the concept of original sin, to sing in the sunshine and celebrate their true nature.
