I'm headed for the dark, take shit as shit is
If you can take this town, I say good show
'Cause city hall all are freaks
And the coffee is getting weak

I'm going to make my mark, maybe in show biz
Maybe on solid ground, I do not know
But I'm thinking all the time
And I'm saving all my dimes

Blast off, I can foresee, foresee
Blast off, blast off
Cast off, save all my money
Just for blast off
Blast off, I can foresee, foresee, blast off

Chemical
Take on my chemical for comatose
Comatose
Wake from a sleep that was six months

Rasthof, Zwanzig kilometers, bis
Rasthof, I need it

Blast off
I can foresee, foresee

And when we get there the Irish inn
Me's gonna claim it for France
I'm in a Beckett trance
From all that chemical

Blast off, I can foresee, foresee
Blast off, blast off

Union pour la promotion de la
Propulsion, photonique

Isidis, home on the dome of the Isidis
Tops off, I think I'm gonna get some
Rocks off, I need it

Blast off
I can foresee, foresee

And when we get there the Irish inn
Me's gonna claim it for France
I'm in a Beckett trance
From all that chemical

And when we get there the Irish inn
Me's gonna claim it for France
I'm wearing Beckett's pants
From all that chemical

And when we get there the Irish inn
Me's gonna claim it for France
I'm in a Beckett trance
From all that chemical, from all that chemical

And when we get there the Irish inn
Me's gonna claim it for France
I'm on a Beckett rants
From all that chemical

Blast off, I can foresee, foresee
Blast off, blast off
Cast off, save all my money
Just for blast off

Blast off, I can foresee, foresee
Blast off, blast off, blast off

    well, for once, a "Beckett rant" is probably a reference to Lucky's lengthy nonsense speech in Waiting for Godot. style-wise, there is some similarity between that and these lyrics, lots of word repetition, etc.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
