Love sign {fade in}
Love sign (Get up)
Love sign (Get up)
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun (Get up)

[Chorus:]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and 4 ever more (2 signs of the times)
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun (Time is passing, passing is time)

In a chariot of red and gold
The cool, fuzzy voice said "Come save your soul"
Before the fear of rejection reared its head
He stood before the masses and calmly said

[Chorus]

In the day of where and why we all belong
Don't nobody want to hear a silly love song
And if they did then we would sing it on the news
While you're aiming your gun at me and I'm aiming back at you

[Chorus]

Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun (Get up)
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun (Get up)
If you only had one year left to live (Get up)
What good is the time you spend if you got no love to give? (Get up)
Let's all get up off the front (get up off the front) and find a cause to back (cause to back)
Then we could teach the babies replications of the act, of the act
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
(Sick of evil knockin', yeah)
Throw up the love sign once and forever more (to signs of the times)
(Then ev..everybody love)
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
(We can have a little fun)
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun (Time is passing, passing is time)
(Everybody, oh yeah)
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
(Oh yeah)
Throw up the love sign once and forever more (to signs of the times)
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
(Make a little love now)
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
(We can make love instead of guns, oh) (Time is passing, passing is time)
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun (x4)
Show us the love sign, we want the love sign (Get up)
Show us the love sign (Get up)
Show us the love sign (2 signs of the times), we want the love sign (Get up)
Show us (to signs of the times) the love sign (Get up)
Love sign
(Pop, pop, pop go the pistol)
(Bang, bang, bang go the gun)
We want the love sign
Love sign
(Pop, pop, pop go the pistol)
(Bang, bang, bang go the gun)
Love sign
(Pop, pop, pop go the pistol)
(Bang, bang, bang go the gun)
We want the love sign
Love sign
(Pop, pop, pop go the pistol)
(Bang, bang, bang go the gun) {repeat to fade}

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
