Same old song
Welcome to my world
Dark side of the universe
I'll take you for a spin the mayhem begins
The media mouth is feeding and chemical youth is screaming
The circus starts to roll there's no turning back
You think it's right you made your mind

I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Times will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song

Your soul is burning bright
High hopes of future sight
Beyond the horizon lays a world that's so black
They try to shape your mind
And make you walk the line
Don't let them steal your dreams
It's all that you've got
You start to doubt
You change your mind

I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Times will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song

Don't want to heart it no more
Time to do this
Time to do that
I've got an offer
You can't refuse it
Just stick with
And I'll push you
All the way to the stars

Can't take it no more
The same old song
It's playing again
The same old song
It's playing again
And again and again
The same old song

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,

Plastic Bag
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.
