It's automatic (it's automatic)
I need to unload (need to unload)
Under the pressure (under the pressure)
Gone middle of the road (middle of the road)
Fall into fashion (fall into fashion)
Fall out again (fall out again)
We stick together (we stick together)
Because it never ends (it never ends)

Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (the only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (you and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

Here comes tomorrow (here comes tomorrow)
One, two, three episodes (three episodes)
We stick together (we stick together)
Gon middle of the road (middle of the road)
'Cause that's entertainment (that's entertainment)
It's the sound of the wheel (sound of the wheel)
It rolls on forever (roll, roll forever)
Yeah, you know how it feels (know how it feels)

Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (the only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (like monkeys out in space)
Here it comes (we are members of the human race)
Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
And here comes a high (the only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (you and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

It's automatic (it's automatic)
I need to unload (need to unload)
Under the pressure (under the pressure)
Gone middle of the road (middle of the road)

Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (the only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (like monkeys out in space)
Here it comes (we are members of the human race)
Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (the only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (you and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

    the song is called .M.iddle .O.f the .R.oad

    so its obviously about the concept, as applied to the music industy.

    Under the pressure Gone middle of the road

    i think these lines represent wat band such as blur 'could' do, or band that 'have' done. not selling out as such, but making thier music available so that it doesnt go in or out of fashion.

    however, this song can also be about relationships.

    i think its both.

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,

Amazing

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.
