This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
the one thing that I can guarantee
I'm like a stepping razor, I suggest you stay fair with me
been payin dues for a decade plus,
before that I was just another face on the bus
tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies
oh mom, I promise I'm gonna be large
someday I'm gonna stop tryin to borrow your car
gonna go far, with charisma and skill
until they put my face on a million dollar bill
atmosphere, its just a ten letter word
discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird
and if you didnt hear, fuck whatevers heard
I think you got the sickness I suggest you get it cured
caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix
I'm gonna hobble down the street 'til I reach knob creek
Its not that I dont like you, I just dont wanna speak
you fuckin freak
now keep your days out my week
the world keeps a balance, through mathematics
defined by whatever you've added and subtracted
I'm pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain
embrace how I live it, god loves ugly
chorus
god loves ugly...
once upon a time in minneapolis, yo
I damn near had to steal the show
I stepped on the stage, who is it?
My name's slug I've come to kill a couple minutes
what's up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other
so they can steal each others sound
if it's all about gettin down with the get down
how long I gotta wait for these fools to sit down?
appears more clear in its simplest form
nobody sees tears when you're sittin in a storm
abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest
measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships
I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name
I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game
when the soldiers started runnin short on rations
I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin
make it happen
and take this captain to the gallows
I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow
talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry
he said I should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury
so give me some light, a little love and some liquid
I'm gonna creep through the night
and put a plug in the spicket
and when the water grows
and the dam starts to overflow
I'll float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly
chorus
Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen
let life be a bowl of melted ice cream
or be the deer thats caught in my high beams
I'm rollin with the lights on, scared stiff
reality is just too much to bear with
paranoid, walkin around careless
no wonder you're in love with your therapist
go to sleep my little time bomb
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
the one thing that I can guarantee
I'm like a stepping razor, I suggest you stay fair with me
been payin dues for a decade plus,
before that I was just another face on the bus
tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies
oh mom, I promise I'm gonna be large
someday I'm gonna stop tryin to borrow your car
gonna go far, with charisma and skill

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
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
My favorite part is when he says,"Im pounding on the hammer to trigger the brain, embrace how i live it, god loves ugly." Its so genius because the hammer is a bone in the human ear. And when sound waves hit the it, the hammer sends a signal to the brain letting it know what it just heard. The hammer is also the part of a gun that hits the bullet that shoots it out. So what hes saying is that his music is his weapon against all the people that doubt him. The only thing anatomy class did good for me is understand that one line.
