This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
With all the booze, beer, women and the heavy medication
Gonna have to take my self a mandatory vacation
Running out of time luck money and gin
The city of sin that was the city I was in
Cops where on my tail I might have landed in jail
It didn't matter much cause I was living in hell
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
It's a big wild world and it'll knock you around
It's a big wild world and it'll try to bring you down
It's a big wild world but it can't get to you
You got time and good friends on your side, you can't lose
I know I called you angel and your name is Lolita
I need a shot of tequila and a pint of abitta
I need a walker a stretcher, I need an ambulance
I need your girlfriend to come over to my table and dance
I need a bottle of good whiskey and I'll go with the flow
But now I can't remember what happened an hour a go
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
Now I'm a stranger in danger and I'm dangerously close
To being dangerously strange, and strangerously dosed
I need a towel a haircut a shave and a smoke
I need a cafe please you me poorboy I need a little bourbon and cocaine
I turned to coco and I said its getting late
I gotta find me some salvation before its too damn late
We picked up snizz spooky tooth and the chops
Headed down to Chopatoules singing, no stops for pops
Ended up at Miss Mays for three days
And when we came to our senses we thought we'd change our ways
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
Gonna have to take my self a mandatory vacation
Running out of time luck money and gin
The city of sin that was the city I was in
Cops where on my tail I might have landed in jail
It didn't matter much cause I was living in hell
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
It's a big wild world and it'll knock you around
It's a big wild world and it'll try to bring you down
It's a big wild world but it can't get to you
You got time and good friends on your side, you can't lose
I know I called you angel and your name is Lolita
I need a shot of tequila and a pint of abitta
I need a walker a stretcher, I need an ambulance
I need your girlfriend to come over to my table and dance
I need a bottle of good whiskey and I'll go with the flow
But now I can't remember what happened an hour a go
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free
Now I'm a stranger in danger and I'm dangerously close
To being dangerously strange, and strangerously dosed
I need a towel a haircut a shave and a smoke
I need a cafe please you me poorboy I need a little bourbon and cocaine
I turned to coco and I said its getting late
I gotta find me some salvation before its too damn late
We picked up snizz spooky tooth and the chops
Headed down to Chopatoules singing, no stops for pops
Ended up at Miss Mays for three days
And when we came to our senses we thought we'd change our ways
And then the words my Daddy once said to me
Started ringing in my ears and they set my ass free

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Gentle Hour

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
