Hey Girl,
You'll land it.
You got supplies
and they demand it.
You've got the looks
and the glamour,
cut by the chisel
and beaten by the hammer.
They're naive,
So they'll believe it.
They will act like dogs
when they recieve it.
Through the darkness
and the haze,
a stright and narrow
fall from grace.
They need,
they yearn.
They lust with cheeks unturned.
Hands shake and heads will nod.
They get by by the grace of God.
Hey Boy.
You understand.
Say your prayers,
or you'll be damned.
He's a watcher
and a voyer,
bystander
and destroyer.
They need,
they yearn.
They lust with cheeks unturned.
Hands shake and heads will nod.
They get by by the grace of God.
You'll land it.
You got supplies
and they demand it.
You've got the looks
and the glamour,
cut by the chisel
and beaten by the hammer.
They're naive,
So they'll believe it.
They will act like dogs
when they recieve it.
Through the darkness
and the haze,
a stright and narrow
fall from grace.
They need,
they yearn.
They lust with cheeks unturned.
Hands shake and heads will nod.
They get by by the grace of God.
Hey Boy.
You understand.
Say your prayers,
or you'll be damned.
He's a watcher
and a voyer,
bystander
and destroyer.
They need,
they yearn.
They lust with cheeks unturned.
Hands shake and heads will nod.
They get by by the grace of God.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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,
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/
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.
Self explanatory song kinda reminds me of Livin On A Prayer just a tad bit...two people getting by, by the grace of god [livin' on a prayer] catch my drift...
