This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew away howling on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
The people cry and the people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
This sing sent chills down my spine when I first heard it. I wrote a poem titled, "When Angels and Devils Collide", which is the inverse of Lake of fire. Even though Nirvana did not write it, Kurt felt it. I was born on the 4th of July, and had 2 suicides in my family. I am also from Athens, Ga, and Nirvana played at the 40 Watt club. Below is my poem if anyone cares to see it. Basically it is about the fact that life is not materialality, it is about emotions, feelings, care, concern, tomorrow, today, and whatever may be or has been, created, destroyed, sorrows and joys. Just life man, just life. Ken
Where Angels and Devils Collide
Show me a place where Angels and Devils collide
And I’ll show you space, where there is nowhere to hide
Through exposure comes freedom, at the cost of a life
Through exposure comes thirst, like a desert, bone dry
As we traverse and travail on the outskirts of time
We philosophize and postulate about the sublime
Do not look for rest in the illusion of land
For on land one may fall, at the first slight of hand
Those who find peace, find it not within man
Those who find peace, find it in the one,
“I AM”
