sh'sh'sh'shake and shout. get it out before it swallows you.
i've got this itching in my neck that i just cant scratch yeah
and its all because of something that leads right back to you.

so i guess well sit around and talk about, how lame. we really are.
ill watch you dance around to new found glory in the front seat of my car.

so again and again, she's got me going.
around in circles my head, she's got me spinning.
what to do what to say, i cant make it out this way.

sh'sh'sh'shake and shout. get it out before it swallows you.
i know my heart and my head, meant the words that i said.
yeah but its nothing compared to the melting in my chest.

so i guess well sit around and talk about how lame we really are.
ill watch you dance around to new found glory in the front seat of my car.

so again and again, she's got me going.
around in circles my head, she's got me spinning.
what to do what to say, i cant make it out this way.

(sh'sh'sh'shake and shout)
i know my heart and my head meant the words that i said,
she calls me stupid but the truth is that i'm falling in love.

so i guess well sit around and talk about how lame we really are.
ill watch you dance around to new found glory in the front seat of my car.

so again and again, she's got me going.
around in circles my head, she's got me spinning.
what to do what to say, i cant make it out this way.

so again and again, she's got me going.
around in circles my head, she's got me spinning.
what to do what to say, i cant make it out this way.

(so again and again, so again and again)
(she's got me spinning, i can't make it out)
(no i can't make it out, this way)

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,

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.

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.
