Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink. Don't Think. Drive. Kill. Get drunk a lot. And work 40 hours a week. Spend half your time. Hung over, sick and weak. Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool. And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice. And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it. And that you can quit anytime that you want, anytime. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime. You can quit anytime, anytime. Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink. Don't Think. Drive. Kill. Party down, party down. Drinkin' til you can't even see. ...In your car with your buddies. And wrap it around a tree. Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool. And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice. And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it. And that you can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit. You can quit. You can quit. Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool. And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice. And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it. And that you can quit anytime that you want. Anytime. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime. Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink. Don't Think. Drive. Kill. Feelin' pretty petty. Lying cold in a hospital bed. Busted car, busted head. You had a friend but now he's dead. Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool. And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice. And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it. And that you can quit anytime that you want. Anytime. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit anytime that you want. You can quit Anytime. Anytime, anytime

Gentle Hour

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This song rules.
This song and video is funny as hell.
This is about a working man who drinks irresponsibly and gets a friend killed. It's okay to drink responsibly but when you don't there are serious repercussions.
This song shows that punk is not about "Haha let's just get wasted 24/7 for the rest 50 years of our lives." It also doesn't have the straightedge mentality to it. It's a compromise between the two of them.
I agree with Lost Nomad, its just a song talking about how you can drink if you want but to do it in a responsible, smart way. Even though I myslef am Straight-Edge I think that this song makes a lot of sense and it is somehow, a comprimise.
alcohol is honestly a scourge. there are other drugs that are so much less destructive out there that make you so much more open and teach you things and give you a new perspective, but alcohol doesnt do that. it pisses me off how people are scared of so many "hard drugs" but act like alcohol is nothing when in fact alcohol causes as many/more problems.
shut the fuck up hippie. alcohol is amazing for those of us that can handle it.
