Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

it's been awhile
I missed your honky-tonk style
let the bourbon flow
time moves so slowly in suburbia
maybe it's time to go
i got me some medicine, you got your red dress on
steal your mamma's transistor radio
we'll find a frequency
we'll find a frequency's a'listen to

all the country girls go:
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train

ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train to Mashville
ridin on the train

oh yeah I dream of a train of the glory bound train

you lost the plot again
where I, i don't know
prepared to cut my losses
if you let your blues go
can you hear that whistle blowin'?
don't you wanna go down slow?
last train to Mashville

all the country girls go
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

all the country girls goin'
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

all the country girls goin'
"oooh, oooh-o"
"oooh, oooh-o"

and there's a train that pulls out the station slow
you find yourself leavin the platform with nowhere to go
you can hear it chuggin in the distance
you walk back to your place with no resistance
one thing's for sure, you missed the last train to Mashville

Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

Oh Lord I dream, of a train
the glory bound train
get on board
the last train to Mashville

riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
ridin' on the train

riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
riding on the train to Mashville
ridin' on the train

what will it be like when me and larry and you get together
uncooth, undressed, unclean, you know what i mean
what is mine? what is yours?
nothin is mine, nothin is yourse
but one thing's for sure,
you just missed the last train to Mashville, brotha

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,

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.

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.
