Packed a lunch of tea and orange
At Mercedes five and dime
Now I'm slipping out the back door
And I'm feeling alright
Found the bosses gold Camero
Think I'll take it for a ride
Cross the world to California
Where i know she's waiting

She picks me up like I've never been down before
And its hard to think you got the best of me yet
I can't believe while these dogs are at the
Door honey
You came to take apart what's left of me

120 down the freeway
About a thousand miles to go
Cross the border to resida
Outskirts on the avenue
can't escape the operator
California here I come
Groves are passing by the way
And I know its waiting

She picks me up like I've never been down before
And its hard to think you got the best of me yet
I can't believe while these dogs are at the
Door honey
You came to take apart what's left of me

Pileup on the Berkshire turnstile
About a thousand miles to go
There the feelin' faded quickly
Madonnas on the radio
Packed a lunch of tea and orange
Think I'll take it for a ride
Cross the world to California
Where I know she's waiting

She picks me up like I've never been down before
And its hard to think you got the best of me yet
I can't believe while these dogs are at the
Door honey
You came to take apart what's left of me

    sounds like he's on his way to look for the girl that he longs for. even though she hurts him when hes got other things to deal with(I can't believe while these dogs are at the door, honey You came to take apart what's left of me), she gets the best of him over and over again, though he cliams she hasnt at the end of each refrain.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
