I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knocking on my wall
Times were hard, I don't want to knock it
I don't miss it much at all

Oh yeah, I'm alright, I just feel a
Little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Well I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh yeah, I'm alright, I just feel a
Little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Well I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a
Little lonely tonight
Listen, I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a
Little lonely tonight
Listen, I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight

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,
