The world's spinning 'round
and I can not escape
from this decadence
that we're living in
So we drink, 'til we forget ourselves
then we find ourselves
lost among everythings

I'm crying out loud
I feeling tired
I used to be proud
but I guess I've expired

Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
you're my flesh and bone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna take you home
I wanna be your own

And in the dawn
when I wake up again
closer to the end
than I've ever been
If I saw your face
I know we could escape
to another place where
things could be sinking in

I'm crying out loud
I feeling tired
I used to be proud
but I guess I've expired

Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
you're my flesh and bone
I wanna move to Rome
far away from home
where you could be my own

I'm feeling tired...
I'm crying out loud
I guess I've expired

Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
you're my flesh and bone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna take you home
I wanna be your own
Be your own
I wanna be your own

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,

Plastic Bag
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.
