E quem causa inveja
E fuma escondido da mãe
Vida tão chata
Onda tão curta
Moda tão fora, sai
Que um raio a parta

E salta puxa pula ri até ao sol

Mas aos dezasseis é só de uma vez
Tens o desgosto de vestir-te como os DJ's
E com dezasseis
Já falta pouco para sentir noventa e seis

À volta do quarto
Nuvem de cabelo em pé
Pintura de guerra
Multiplica por quatro
Vejo o teu retrato em pó
E o rádio berra:
Estou farto e farta e farto e farto de estar só!

Mas aos dezasseis é só de uma vez
Tens o desgosto de vestir como os DJ's
E com dezasseis
Nunca se teve tempo de ler o Senhor dos Anéis
Só de uma vez

Tens o desgosto de vestir como os DJ's
E aos dezasseis
É de esperar alguém gritar
Sweet Little Sixteen
Sweet Little Sixteen

Mas aos dezasseis
Só de uma vez
Tens o desgosto de vestir como os DJ's
E com dezasseis
Já falta pouco para sentir os noventa e seis
Só de uma vez
Tens o mau gosto de vestir como os DJ's
E aos dezasseis
É de esperar alguém gritar
Sweet Little Sixteen!

    For the english speaking people i'll translate the lyrics....

    And who causes envy? And smokes hiden from his mother Such a boring life Such a short wave Such an outdated fashion..get out Damn it

    And jump and jump unto the sun

    And when you're sixteen everithing happens at once You have the bad taste of dressing like the Dj's And when you're sixteen You're just close from feeling like you were ninety six

    Around your bedroom Cloud with spiked hair War paintings Multiplied by four I see your portrait turn to dust And the radio screams I'm sick and so sick and so sick of being alone!

    And when you're sixteen all happens at once You have the bad taste of dressing like the Dj's And when you're sixteen You never had the time too read the Lord Of The Rings All at once

    You have the bad taste of dressing like the Dj's And when you're sixteen You should expect someone to shout Sweet Little Sixteen Sweet Little Sixteen

    And when you're sixteen All at once You have the bad taste of dressing like the Dj's And when you're sixteen You're just close to feel like if you were ninety six All at once You have the bade taste of dressing like theDj's When you're sixteen You should expect someone to shout Sweet Little Sixteen! Sweet Littlle Sixteen!

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/

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
