We are the leaders and the preachers
Teaching you what is right from wrong.
And even if a hint of nonsense has made us clearly conscious,
We'll be the first ones to act, be the first ones to act in.

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not to become:
Another fabricated self-portrait.
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.

You are the so-called weak and reckless.
Waiting for the next big explosion,
No matter if it's wrong or right.
If we let you have this,
You'll be the first to destroy, be the first to destroy it.

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not to become:
Another fabricated self-portrait.
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets.
You know you need this.

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets.
You know you need this.

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not to become:
Another fabricated self-portrait.
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
