Not of this Earth
you've changed places with the Sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become

Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I make you proud
You done your crying now

She is not of this earth
And I no longer need to search
If I ever leave this World
You will have a song to sing
So you know what you were

Not of this Earth
She keep walking down my lane
I've learned to laugh again
Like a muff to a flame

Not of this Earth
Not surprised we're unashamed
she's gonna have to change your name
They will know that we're the same

She is not of this Earth
And I believed we've seen the worst
If I ever leave this world
You will have a song to sing
So you know what you were

(Not of this Earth)
Better get used to the smile
(Not of this Earth)
Gonna be around for awhile
(Not of this Earth)
Spent too much time being cursed
(Not of this Earth)

Not of this Earth
You changed places with the Sun
I know that you're the one
I love what we've become

Not of this earth
I wear you like a shroud
I know I made you proud
(I know I made you proud)
You done your crying now
(Not of this Earth ')

    One of the sweetest Robbie's songs, for sure. He reassures his woman how important she is for him and how he's going to protect her and change her life. So purely touching.

    My Interpretation

    Another song hinting at the paranormal. There are so many of these with R.W. I'm surprised there are no further comments about it.

    If true, whoever she is, they must have been extremely close and joined together in a very special way.

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
