There was a girl, as old as the river, but pretty and sharp like you wish you could be
Seduced each of yr boyfriends a long time before you
Somebody call an ambulance, I just murdered a party but don’t tell me that romance is dead too
Oh! It was a fragment, kinda lost sight when the tracks bent, and the crowds moved in like the sea and you were drowned to me
I think you are the pale haze of the morning
You as the spark I want, you as the glance I caught
Everyone’s a story, everybody’s late for something
And in the real world, where the power works and the witches tear up their losses over the bridge
I question your beliefs, but I'm in awe and I want in on this
Those words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals
Oh! From the shard to the shore, the city dances to death and taxes
I've done my edgework, I know yr signatures
I wish you were a stranger I could talk to, we could chalk that door, we could chant that code
Everyone’s a secret, everybody’s hiding something
Back in the real world, where the brickwork sprawls and the concrete climbs to stars you’ll never see
You ask me what I need? Well I've seen “down”, now I want “underneath”
Those words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals
And I'm still waiting
There is no hidden door at Leincester Gardens
There is no London Below
So. Those words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals
And I'm still waiting.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
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.
