We all know the girls that I am talking about Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them

And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

If its drama you want then look no further
They're like the Real World, meets Boy Meets World, meets Days of our Lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They're anger you then bat their eyes... those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize


And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so stressed out that its soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring


Cause when its black means watch your back because you're probably the last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately and ask her out because she'll most likely agree

And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means she's completely emotionless
And that's alright I must confess...

We all know the girls that I am talking about She liked you wednesday but now its friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde...
At least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring, oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery?
Of girls and their emotions,
play it back in slow motion
So i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind...

(spoken)...ha... that was terrible...

    this song rox! Oh by the way guys, here's a tip: If you have an emotional girlfriend and she likes Reilent K, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES think that it's a cute idea to buy her the cd with a mood ring taped to it. This did not happen to me (I would have laughed it off,) but a guy friend of mine did that to his girlfriend and wound up with an earful and a sore groin.

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.

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.
