Surrender your furniture
Push the television out the window
Over-medicated, this must be the sunks
So if you can't understand the blues, you don't know much
With much love for science and youthful defiance
We struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Its branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty shady tree
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty doomsday tree
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
They'll call you a wash-up when you can't stay sunk
It's a shame to be so wet so young
Living your life with much love for science
And the youthful defiance, we struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
Push the television out the window
Over-medicated, this must be the sunks
So if you can't understand the blues, you don't know much
With much love for science and youthful defiance
We struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Its branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty shady tree
Oh please forgive us, oh mighty doomsday tree
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time
They'll call you a wash-up when you can't stay sunk
It's a shame to be so wet so young
Living your life with much love for science
And the youthful defiance, we struck blindly at the roots of this tree
Whose branches got broken, pissed on and trampled
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless wheel of time
It's time to stick your branches in the merciless spokes of time
It's time to stick a fork in the merciless socket of time
It's time to be sewn into the limitless fabric of time

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,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
