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,
[Repeat: x2]
What's in it for me
I came here for a good time and you're telling me to leave
But you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time
[Repeat: x2]
We're counting on you
Well I like to remember it like that
When we had one in the hand, that was one in the hand
But you never come over any more
So you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time
What's in it for me
I came here for a good time and you're telling me to leave
But you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time
[Repeat: x2]
We're counting on you
Well I like to remember it like that
When we had one in the hand, that was one in the hand
But you never come over any more
So you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time

Punchline

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.
I call this album, perfect timing, because i'm going through some relationship problems, and this album has helped me realize that things happen, and so I should just let it everything settle down. This is a song that difinitely points that out to me. Such a great song, especially when The Rat kicks in, it's like a continuation of what happens next.
