Hot coffee burns my mouth, I been staring in a dream
The money would be good, I think but not as good as clean
I would have more sense if I could sense what I could have
I'm learning things about myself that I never knew I had

My mind, can't stop the things that make me want it
My mind, can't stop these things
My mind, has enough to do without you on it
My mind, can't wait to see you try and stop it

I've held my eyes wide open but it's very hard to see
The slimy hidden dangers unless you've got ESP
I would have more sense if I could sense what I could have
I'm learning things about myself that I never knew I had

My mind, can't stop the things that make me want it
My mind, can't stop these things
My mind, has enough to do without you on it
My mind, can't wait to see you try and stop it

I want some kind of contact with you, you must admit I haven't bugged you
So you're due for some annoyance, the last three months you've had enjoyment
Out of watching them contain it, uninvited you obtained it
From the unsuspecting shamless but you're not exactly blameless
My mind, has enough to do without you on it
My mind, can't stop the things that make me want it
My mind, has enough to do without you on it
My mind, has enough to do with

My mind, can't stop the things that make me want it
My mind, can't stop these things
My mind, has enough to do without you on it
My mind, can't wait to see you try and stop it

Try and stop it, try and stop it

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
