In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
So we did it again
Knowing we should quit it, but we simply won't admit it again
Oh, it feels good, it's so good, but I won't do it again
It's so dramatic again
After we go at it, we get mad then we go at it again
Oh, I love it, then I hate it she's my favorite again
I'm wasting time
I can't help it she's so fine
Oh, I like her style
And I love the way she talks, and I smile
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime, I guess we say bye-bye
(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then we do it again
We do it again, and we do it again
Oh, and then we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again
So we fake it again
I think we're gonna blow it, and we know it
But she's naked again
We get wasted, then I taste it, then I waste it again
I can't invite her again
'Cause she'll go from a lover to a fighter
And I'll fight her again
So it's over, but I told her to come over again
I'm wasting time
But she's always on my mind
I can't let her go
Oh, she's not the best, but she's all that I know
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime I guess we say bye-bye
(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then we do it again
We do it again, and we do it again
Oh, and then we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again
So I've got a new friend
I wish I could forget you
But I miss you, wanna kiss you again
She's like you, but she's not you gotta find you again
So we remember again
The middle of December, and I took you out to dinner again
Oh, I love her it's not over, just another again
(And again and again and again)
Oh, it's another again
I love her it's another again
(And again and again and again)
Oh, another again, oh, it's another again
(And again and again and again)
(And again and again and again)
Knowing we should quit it, but we simply won't admit it again
Oh, it feels good, it's so good, but I won't do it again
It's so dramatic again
After we go at it, we get mad then we go at it again
Oh, I love it, then I hate it she's my favorite again
I'm wasting time
I can't help it she's so fine
Oh, I like her style
And I love the way she talks, and I smile
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime, I guess we say bye-bye
(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then we do it again
We do it again, and we do it again
Oh, and then we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again
So we fake it again
I think we're gonna blow it, and we know it
But she's naked again
We get wasted, then I taste it, then I waste it again
I can't invite her again
'Cause she'll go from a lover to a fighter
And I'll fight her again
So it's over, but I told her to come over again
I'm wasting time
But she's always on my mind
I can't let her go
Oh, she's not the best, but she's all that I know
As much as we may try
Can't quite see eye to eye
So in the meantime I guess we say bye-bye
(And again and again and again)
Oh, and then we do it again
We do it again, and we do it again
Oh, and then we do it again
We want it again, and we want it again
So I've got a new friend
I wish I could forget you
But I miss you, wanna kiss you again
She's like you, but she's not you gotta find you again
So we remember again
The middle of December, and I took you out to dinner again
Oh, I love her it's not over, just another again
(And again and again and again)
Oh, it's another again
I love her it's another again
(And again and again and again)
Oh, another again, oh, it's another again
(And again and again and again)
(And again and again and again)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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/

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.
best line from song " she's not the best, but she's all that I know"
that would make any girl feel like crap
LOL!!! HAHAHAHA....
