This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She's got a ticket and she's waiting at the station
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun shine
She's got to get used to living on the lam
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man
When I last saw her she was looking trouble
She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright
She took the greyhound into Salinas
I got a letter that she dropped out of sight
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man
Shrouded in anger encompassed by pain
He was your best friend and you will never ever ever see him again
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun shine
She's got to get used to living on the lam
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man
When I last saw her she was looking trouble
She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright
She took the greyhound into Salinas
I got a letter that she dropped out of sight
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man
Shrouded in anger encompassed by pain
He was your best friend and you will never ever ever see him again
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded forty four in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The song is pretty self-explanatory. Some cops shot her husband/partner. She's out for revenge and then she's on the lam (running from the law for the kids who don't know).
Its about a woman who shot a cop who shot her man in campbell or some other south bay city. Salinas refers to a city about 30 miles south of Campbell.

Being from Ohio I always thought this song was cool because there are two cities here within probably 10-12 miles of each other called Celina and St. Marys, both on the Grand Lake.
