Jenny sits all alone and she waits for the one
With a handful of charm she will bring back the sun
She's been waiting inside of her house at the end of the world

She sees visions of futures but not of her own
And she cries when she thinks of her empty home
She's been waiting inside of her house at the end of the world
End of the world, end of the world

Jenny sits and she hopes for a knock at her door
For a savior, a king or someone to adore
She's been waiting inside of her house at the end of the world

She sees visions of futures but not of her own
And she cries when she thinks of her empty home
She's been waiting inside of her house at the end of the world
End of the world, end of the world

How will you ever see the end to this if you never leave
This little house you hide inside, this little house that you keep?
You say you'll never feign a distance from this place on the hill
You know it makes you cry and covers you, the things that you will
How will you ever meet the one who could bring back the sun?

You live inside yourself and now this house is the only one
You live inside yourself and now this house is the only one
You live inside yourself and now this house is the only one
You live inside yourself and now this house is the only one
You live inside yourself and now this house is the only one

And now this house is the only one
And now this house is the only one

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,

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.
