Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

You sure can get it up
At least that's what you say
You don't know how to stop
You just can't walk away

And when we saw her face
You said she's something else
I know you just can't wait
It's more than I can take

You just can't play it down [Repeat: x2]
You just gotta lay it down

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough


It's getting hard to see
Through all our history
I guess it's in your blood
On that we can agree

And when we saw her face
I said she's something else
She was your only hope
And still you let her down

You just can't play it down [Repeat: x2]
You're just gonna let her down

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

Hey, shut the fuck up boy
You are starting to piss me off
Take your hands off that girl
You have already had enough

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
