Can you figure out what I want?
Pull the trigger with a pop gun
Mindless fools that aggravate it
Pick at you in desperation

Oh, it's a love pop suicide
Oh, I'm in love pop suicide
Oh, I really don't know

Pop life living, it is so real
Midwest farmers' kids are milk-fed
Breed and incubate what you see
Ten years later here on TV

Oh, it's a love pop suicide
Oh, I'm in love pop suicide
Oh, I really don't know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I really don't know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I really don't know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I really don't know

Father can't you love your woman
Father can't you teach your children
Long range love implosion short wicked
Short wave mind explosion

Oh, I'm in love pop suicide
About a pop star homicide
Oh, I really don't know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I really don't know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell me somethin' about you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell me somethin' about you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, I really don't know
Tell me somethin' about you (can you figure out what I want?)
Tell me somethin' about you (can you figure out what I want?)
Tell me somethin' about you

    I agree with the David Bowie thing even though I don't know the song or like David Bowie. It sounds right.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
