This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Spark a dog-end, roll up smoke
Before you turn to dust
Got a lot of real good friends
But no one you can trust
She draws you like a siren
To the accident once more
You're lying in your good intent
And you just ask for more
And you've been using up
Your lucky days, two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime
Such a jealous mistress
She knows when you're on the bone
Your accomplice and your witness
But you sold your ticket home
Like a bottle or a friend
When you hit bottom, don't bother crying
All good things come to an end
But the bad ones seem to take their time
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime
She speaks in contradictions
That can knock you to the floor
Satisfaction's her addiction
And she'll burn you to like a whore
Like a bottle or a friend
When you hit bottom, don't bother crying
All good things come to an end
But the bad ones seem to take their time
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
There was a man you could have been
But he's broken inside
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime
Before you turn to dust
Got a lot of real good friends
But no one you can trust
She draws you like a siren
To the accident once more
You're lying in your good intent
And you just ask for more
And you've been using up
Your lucky days, two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime
Such a jealous mistress
She knows when you're on the bone
Your accomplice and your witness
But you sold your ticket home
Like a bottle or a friend
When you hit bottom, don't bother crying
All good things come to an end
But the bad ones seem to take their time
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime
She speaks in contradictions
That can knock you to the floor
Satisfaction's her addiction
And she'll burn you to like a whore
Like a bottle or a friend
When you hit bottom, don't bother crying
All good things come to an end
But the bad ones seem to take their time
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
There was a man you could have been
But he's broken inside
And you've been using up
Your lucky days two at a time
The way this town can beat you down
Is such a crime

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think that he's talking about a city. Sadly this song isn't more widely known. The lyrics are clever...especially the chorus. I happened to buy the soundtrack to SWF and this gem (along with Paw doing a great cover of Surrender) was on it.
