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.......

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/
