I met a cute guy in a gallery
I looked at him he smiled at me
We started talking and I was impressed
He was smart and sweet and confident
Just as I was thanking my good luck
That was the moment reality struck
He bid me goodbye and quickly fled
Back to the safety of his girlfriend
And that's the story so far
That's the story so far
Well I was hangin' out at that old queer bar
The only in my home town
Looking around, didn't find much to choose
Feeling the I-can't-get-laid blues
But as I was leaving the doorman smiled
He was a honey so I stopped for a while
We hit it off, but oh, cruel fate
He was the only guy in the place that was straight
And that's the story so far
That's the story so far
This is the part that I can't stand
Falling for an attractive man
Who's great but often straight
This is the part I hate
But one I ten still means a lot of them
But so many are wrapped up in silly trends
That I despise and make me roll my eyes
That I despise and make me roll my eyes
Is this my community?Sometimes I want to mutiny
Walking down the street
So many guys I want to meet
And it makes me smile
But it might take a long while
To find that cutie
With both brains and beauty
So I´ll keep the faith
But for now I wait
And that the story, that's the story, that's the story of my life
That's the story, that's the story, that's the story of my life
That's the story, that's the story, that's the story?So far

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

Magical
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
