Do you know who I am?
Good, neither do I.
Got nothing to say (got nothing to say)
But if you pay me I can play the fool.

Go on, believe, if it turns you on.
Take what you need 'til your body's numb.
Prostitution is revolution.
You can hate me, until you pay me.
My submission is your addiction.
So just get out while you can.

Do you remember when the only thing that mattered was
Taking time for the things you love?
But now you've got to humor all these fools.

Go on, believe, if it turns you on.
Take what you need 'til your body's numb.
Prostitution is revolution.
You can hate me, until you pay me.
My submission is your addiction.
So just get out while you can.

If you need me I'm your man.
But you don't wanna see me mad.
Oh! No! We don't care!
You're a pro and it's no surprise, yeah.
Oh! No! We don't care!

Go on, believe, if it turns you on.
Take what you need 'til your body's numb.
Prostitution is revolution.
You can hate me, until you pay me.
My submission is your addiction.
So just get out while you can.

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/

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.
