Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm

Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
An honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left

In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style

An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Wake up late honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card to the liquor store

That's one for you and two for me by tonight
I'll be
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane

Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the night train
Bottoms up

I'm on the night train
Fill my cup
I'm on the night train
Ready to crash and burn

I never learn
I'm on the night train
I love that stuff
I'm on the night train

I can never get enough
I'm on the night train
Never to return - no
Loaded like a freight train

Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the night train

An I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the night train
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the night train

And I'm ready to crash an' burn
Night train
Bottoms up
I'm on the night train

Fill my cup
I'm on the night train
Whoa yeah
I'm on the night train

Love that stuff
I'm on the night train
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the night train

I guess, I
I guess, I guess, I guess, I never learn
On the night train
Float me home

Oh I'm on the night train
Ridin' the night train
Never to return
Night train

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/
