I want to settle this bet and I don't want your shoulder instead
The minor tough's walking past again
A pure extension yeah
Reach in your pocket and pull out the pantleg of hate
Reach in your pocket and pull out the pantleg of hate
The hardcore will tell me not to say so
But now Keora where did your sadness go
You know I would go try and get through to you
If you weren't down at the back room
They're standing up the block and down the street
And they'll be out all night yeah
As I'm out in the car it comes to me
They're breaking up inside

    "Reach in your pocket and pull out the pantleg of hate".

    What does this mean? Is the pantleg of hate the pocket lining when you have no change and you're angry cause you need money? Huh? I don't get it.

    The Back Room was a metal club in Austin on Riverside Drive that shut down about a year ago. I don't know if that's what they're referencing but I like to think it is when he sings, "I would go try and het through to you / if you weren't down at the Back Room".

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/
