A little paint, to cover what's deep inside
A little truth you know we all wanna hide
Well I'm tryin', I'm tryin' now to get to you
But you're tellin' me like you always do, you say

Don't hate me, 'cause I'm just that good

I've got to hand it to you now, you're a hard one to please
When it looks as though you've got all you need
All the many times I've dreamed I could walk in your shoes
What a nightmare it must be just bein' you say

Don't hate me, 'cause I'm just that good
A little misunderstood
Well, you made me, and I'm just that good

Step outside, walk with me
Everyone I know and see is fallin' is crawlin' after something maybe
A bigger house, faster car, never knowin' who they are
They're lonely, they're lonely, they're lonely

All we say, don't hate me, 'cause I'm just that good
A little misunderstood
Well, you made me, and I'm just that good
You wouldn't change me if you could

And all this time will take its toll on you
As the same it will on me
Well, good ain't all that good's made out to be
Don't hate me, we're all just that good
Just that good, just that good, just that good

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
