I'm not so pretty now
They're filthy next to me
I'm staring at myself
in family therapy

I'm dying day by day
But no one cries for me
They'd rather slit their wrist
Than french kiss the elderly

Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot

On the day we broke you made the
On the day that we die
On the day we broke
You made the whole world

Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it

I'm sitting quietly
in gothic sympathy
I try to cut myself
But they won't watch me bleed

They do not understand
They are afraid of me
They'd rather shoot themselves
Than french kiss the elderly

Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot
Don't shoot

On the day we broke you made the
On the day that we die
On the day we broke
You made the whole world

Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it

I'm sitting pretty now
with filthy next to me
I have two tumored hands
and a diseased body

Come on let's kill ourselves
Than french kiss the elderly
(Please don't hurt me
Don't don't hurt
Don't shoot)

On the day we broke you made the
On the day that we die
On the day we broke
You made the whole world

Stop it
No
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it you're hurting me
Stop it
Don't
Don't you
Don't you fucking touch me
Don't touch me

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
