Things've changed
You can feel
You know it's never gonna be the same
Paralyzed
By the size
Of all the things we did not intend
Say goodbye
It's alright
But am I ever gonna see you again
Measured words
Takin' turns
With all your silent answers
When you think things over
Are you leaving her to cry
Born in New Jersey you're ridin' through
New Hampshire
Could this be our last goodbye
Strangers searchin' for '80s on the stereo
Kiss her and go you were born to ride
She arrived
In the night
You are more beautiful than country side
Paralyzed
By your eyes
I want to be what you did not intend
Make me laugh
You're bad ass
If you're arrested you can give me a call
All the times
Coincide
Like all the feelings in a tear with a smile
When you think things over
Are you leaving her to cry
Born in New Jersey you're ridin' through
New Hampshire
Could this be our last goodbye
Strangers searchin' for '80s on the stereo
Kiss her and go you were born to ride
She devised
In the night
A magnificent plan deep inside
Something real
And so right
It'll take all of our friends to survive
In the end
Will it mend
And will I be with her for years of my life
Think too much
And it's gone
While the smell of her hair lingers on
Say goodbye
Make it right
Spread her out lookin' deep in her eyes
What went on
In these days
Paint in words as wind to remind us
When you think things over
Are you leaving her to cry
Born in New Jersey you're ridin' through
New Hampshire
Could this be our last goodbye
Strangers searchin' for '80s on the stereo
Kiss her and go you were born to ride
Born to ride
Strangers searchin' for '80s on the stereo
n' I fuckin' love her and they were born to ride

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
