The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
泥に漬けて洗いかざせ
俺を被るお前は神？
DEAD BORN
I will feel pity for you 666
All you have is just a facade
Everyone laughs at
you behind your back
Who looks at you? 666
首を廻し此処が自由?
明日も君はSIDじゃない
奴の胸にはアレがねぇんだ
誘惑に喰れたドコが屍？
よく見てみな傷だらけになった
号外だらけのマネキン
寝かしつける子守歌は
聞こえない聞こえない聞こえない
肘を突いてはってる姿が
なんだかとても芸術だった
時間どうりに忘れ去られる
人身事故にたむけた菊の花束
眠れない 眠れない
罪深きはモナリザと･･･

Gentle Hour

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
LOL so this, kinda like JESSICA, is sort of taking a stab at Sid Vicious and that whole.. mindset, I guess?, of glorifying the man? God bless Kyo's cleverness.
