I am a fluke in the world
I haven't spoken a single word
I'll have to wade through the bullshit
Baby just to find my own vision of pearl
I am a fluke in your world
And even tho it's a bit absurd
I've been living in a dreamworld man
And I hope you'll enjoy what I've heard

Can't you see through me?
Can't you hear through me?
Just a moment in time...

Freak!!! Fluke!!!

Down and under I've felt the toll
You can't hurt me any more

I'm not afraid of you anymore!

Can't you see through me?
Can't you hear through me?
Corona without a lime.

    I believe it's about how he's so different and 'better' than everyone else and he has to go through life dealing with idiots or contradictions in order to find the good in it. He wonders out loud as to why no one else understands things the way he 'understands' them. Also, he finally realizes that these people pose no threat to him and, therefore, stopped caring about their opinions and fearing them. He calls himself a 'fluke' or 'freak' because he is so drastically different from the majority.

    A bit of a rush job and oversimplification, but enough to get (at least some) of my point across.

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,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
