I couldn't sleep so I took a pill
with a dirty glass of water from a low pressure hell
Someone buy a round before my liver fails
and you know it will

How many of you will be
left to make a scene
at my funeral party
Set my soul at ease by spinning wire
as I lay on my side
cause it's the earth which I have known since birth

So clap your hands if you wanna be
the little princess who finally gets the pony
or the one that steals the life from me
With that long sleeve thrift you found in Grand Forks
to cover up your track marks
Cuz when you finally come down
the pony you've been riding around town
turns out to be a man
And then overheated crimping iron burns your hands again

How many of you be will be
left to drink whiskey
at my funeral party
Remember to bring your flask
and pour a shot for
your dead homie

Shake your ass around my casket
Shake your ass around my casket
Shake your ass around my casket
and bring your beach blankets
Volley balls, wine coolers
Spin your favorite records.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Blue
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.
