This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You may have to rescue me
From limestone quarries frequently
Those corporate stunt shows you attend
You'll never get asked back again, say
Hello, spinal curvature
Get used to the mirthless furniture
Now we've kissed, I've written this list
I thought you ought to know
Them's the vagaries
Them's the vagaries
Them's the vagaries
Them's the vagaries
Them's the vagaries
Them's the vagaries
I'll not sit backwards on the train
I can't say I'll always flush the chain
And what I call pleasure, you may call pain (I'm talking Cliff Carlisle)
Prepare to lose your dignity
As I ride to victory
Down the aisle at Tesco wearing
Nothing much at all
(Instrumental break)
Ancient packhorse bridges we'll avoid
Marijuana bores must be destroyed...
Binmen, thin men, lexicographers
Squid yes, not so octopus
Egg sandwiches on coach trips in June?!
I simply won't be there
No way, joke shop excrement
Don't say the light show's excellent
It makes you smell of the laboratory instead of a fan of the band
Oh, flip flops, turquoise chips with apricot
Sheepskin, noseband, kids in Aldershot
You point at the finches in the yard and you ask, "What's them things there?"
Them's the aviaries
Them's the aviaries
Them's the aviaries
Them's the aviaries
And I've been saving these
Things just for you
For you
For you
For you
For you!

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/
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
