Jen

Jimmy Eat World

Jen,
Don't be scared, Don't be shy
We used to do this all the time
you know it Jen

Jen,
We could be happy now
So jet across the coast and country, Jen
And sometimes Jennifer,
You think for too long then your chance is gone

The choice we're meant to make
Is one we'll never take
All you have to do is say

Jen,
Don't be scared, no don't be shy
We used to do this all the time
Ya-Ya-You know it Jen
It's you and me, what could that mean?
You can't pretend we're only friends then walk away

Jen,
I think your trying just a little hard
Acting like something that you're not
Jen
I wanna make you feel the way you should
You have to let things go to keep them close
What we do today
Already has a name
Is anything but a mistake

Jen,
Don't be scared, no don't be shy
We used to do this all the time
Ya-Ya-You know it Jen
It's you and me, what could that mean?
You can't pretend we're only friends then walk away.

ooooohh
oooohhh
oooooo

No one's looking now
Take a chance, come on
Could do anything you want

Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me

You know it, Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me

You know it, Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
Trust your heart, trust me
You know it, Jen

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/

Punchline
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.
