I've penned your poison 1000 times
You think you're mighty, I believe you're a swine
You're a disgusting child and everyone thinks so
I'm confused about how I want to be, am I you or are you me
A whisper shouts down most of my ego
Tell me, when the night moves slow
Do your green shades grow
Is it jealousy or an ago?
Are you really, really that witty, when you're sitting at home being pretty,
Clipping your nails with my old man?
See me, I'm not Edward, I've never been Edward
Darling, I'm just a mere mistake
Stay free, I'm not Edward, I'll never be Edward
'Eddie' is just a chance to be fake.
So you sit down and order a pint,
Would you like a friend or do you want a fight,
I can see the tears behind your fist though,
You may think this is just a joke,
A little joke to promote my own,
But darling, this is the most truth your ears know.
Tell me, when the night moves slow
Do your green shades grow
Is it jealousy or an ago?
Are you really, really that witty, when you're sitting at home being pretty,
Clipping your nails with my old man?
See me, I'm not Edward, I've never been Edward
Darling I'm just a mere mistake
Stay free, If I'm not Edward, I'll never be Edward
'Eddie' is just a chance to be fake!
You think you're mighty, I believe you're a swine
You're a disgusting child and everyone thinks so
I'm confused about how I want to be, am I you or are you me
A whisper shouts down most of my ego
Tell me, when the night moves slow
Do your green shades grow
Is it jealousy or an ago?
Are you really, really that witty, when you're sitting at home being pretty,
Clipping your nails with my old man?
See me, I'm not Edward, I've never been Edward
Darling, I'm just a mere mistake
Stay free, I'm not Edward, I'll never be Edward
'Eddie' is just a chance to be fake.
So you sit down and order a pint,
Would you like a friend or do you want a fight,
I can see the tears behind your fist though,
You may think this is just a joke,
A little joke to promote my own,
But darling, this is the most truth your ears know.
Tell me, when the night moves slow
Do your green shades grow
Is it jealousy or an ago?
Are you really, really that witty, when you're sitting at home being pretty,
Clipping your nails with my old man?
See me, I'm not Edward, I've never been Edward
Darling I'm just a mere mistake
Stay free, If I'm not Edward, I'll never be Edward
'Eddie' is just a chance to be fake!

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
