Hey Father
I want to put you to an end
Hey Father
I'm almost over it again
Hey Father
You were never my friend
Hey Father
I've lost my mind again
Officer, what will you do?
Officer, I'll pay you
I'll pay you to shoot him now
I will you pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I'll pay you to blow his brains out
Hey Mother
Did he hurt you again?
Hey Mother
I want you in, it's got to end
Hey Mother
Swallow your pride, you know it's true
Hey Mother
You know he hurt me too
Officer, will you please?
I'm begging you on my knees
I'll pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you to blow his brains out
(My sanity's lost now)
To choke him now
(The sad times are over)
To fuck him up
(I've taken control now)
To make him drink from the same dried cup
Hey Father
I wanna put you to an end
Hey Father
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will you pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you, I will pay you to blow his brains out
To blow his brains out
I want to put you to an end
Hey Father
I'm almost over it again
Hey Father
You were never my friend
Hey Father
I've lost my mind again
Officer, what will you do?
Officer, I'll pay you
I'll pay you to shoot him now
I will you pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I'll pay you to blow his brains out
Hey Mother
Did he hurt you again?
Hey Mother
I want you in, it's got to end
Hey Mother
Swallow your pride, you know it's true
Hey Mother
You know he hurt me too
Officer, will you please?
I'm begging you on my knees
I'll pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you to blow his brains out
(My sanity's lost now)
To choke him now
(The sad times are over)
To fuck him up
(I've taken control now)
To make him drink from the same dried cup
Hey Father
I wanna put you to an end
Hey Father
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will you pay you to take him out
I will pay you to shoot him now
I will pay you, I will pay you to blow his brains out
To blow his brains out

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Megan wrote this song about her rocky and abusive relationship with her father who hurt her and her mother so much, she would kill him.
this song seems to be about a really bad relationship with her father. i think it could be that he raped her or molested her but its not too clear.
