Kansas City blues
messin up your head
knotted on the burn
wishing I was dead
shit is only shit
running through your brains
I'm not the one who lies
I'm not the one who dies
feels so empty, I'm all right
situation's fine
all right, all right, all right
shoots the final round
mariachi plays
graffiti demon eye
crazy great machine
the only things we need
cocaine and vaseline
I'm not the one who lies
I'm not the one who dies
feels so empty, I'm all right
situation's fine
all right, all right, all right
feels so empty, I'm all right
situation's fine
all right, all right, all right
Christ you thought was dead
Nazi figure head
the heart that we all need
pumps piss and gasoline
I'm not the one who lies
I'm not the one who dies
feels so empty, I'm all right
situation's fine
all right, all right, all right
feels so empty, I'm all right
situation's fine
all right, all right, all right, all right.......

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,
