This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You think you're a special case
That the world's got it out for you
You talk like you're full of good reason
But you act like it just ain't, too
You hope all you wanna hope, brother
Hope, it won't make it untrue
Let this Friday night pull your hat down tight
When there ain't nothin' else you can do
So, you laugh at the mirror, for the low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
You fell for a show and tell's dealer
And the girl made a wreck outta you
You found she was runnin' 'round doin'
What a good hearted woman not do
You wish all you wanna wish, brother
Wishin' won't make a girl true
Let this Friday night pull your hat down tight
When there ain't nothin' else you can do
So, you laugh at the mirror, for the low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
So, you laugh at the mirror, what a low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
Better pull your hat down
Baby, pull your hat down tight, that's right
That the world's got it out for you
You talk like you're full of good reason
But you act like it just ain't, too
You hope all you wanna hope, brother
Hope, it won't make it untrue
Let this Friday night pull your hat down tight
When there ain't nothin' else you can do
So, you laugh at the mirror, for the low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
You fell for a show and tell's dealer
And the girl made a wreck outta you
You found she was runnin' 'round doin'
What a good hearted woman not do
You wish all you wanna wish, brother
Wishin' won't make a girl true
Let this Friday night pull your hat down tight
When there ain't nothin' else you can do
So, you laugh at the mirror, for the low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
So, you laugh at the mirror, what a low down sight
Buckle up your britches, so that you face just right
Bound to be a hard ride tonight
Better pull your hat down tight
Better pull your hat down
Baby, pull your hat down tight, that's right

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
