This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I've got a gut, gut feeling that you
Have made plans to take me home tonight
Well come on baby, come on let's ride
I doubt if you can take me
Well it's a sad way to make it right
But it's a good way to break the ice
I've never looked at you the same way ever again, no
And you're so crazy
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
Baby you and me, whoa baby you and me
Well I've got a sick, sick feeling that you
Have got the urge to shake my bones tonight
We'll place your bets on me tonight
And buckle up for safety
We'll turn it out on the radio
We'll cause a motion sickness episode that we
oh we will get it on, we'll get it on, get it on, oh!
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
Come on, come on, I feel it coming on
There's never been a better time to get it on
And if I die before I wake
I pray there are girls like you we'll meet another day
Come on, come on, I feel it coming on
There's never been a better time to get it on
And if I die before I wake
I pray there are girls like you we'll meet another day
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
You and me, well baby you and me
You and me, well baby you and me
Have made plans to take me home tonight
Well come on baby, come on let's ride
I doubt if you can take me
Well it's a sad way to make it right
But it's a good way to break the ice
I've never looked at you the same way ever again, no
And you're so crazy
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
Baby you and me, whoa baby you and me
Well I've got a sick, sick feeling that you
Have got the urge to shake my bones tonight
We'll place your bets on me tonight
And buckle up for safety
We'll turn it out on the radio
We'll cause a motion sickness episode that we
oh we will get it on, we'll get it on, get it on, oh!
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
Come on, come on, I feel it coming on
There's never been a better time to get it on
And if I die before I wake
I pray there are girls like you we'll meet another day
Come on, come on, I feel it coming on
There's never been a better time to get it on
And if I die before I wake
I pray there are girls like you we'll meet another day
You're keeping all my fingers so, Rock n' roll, whoa
You're the captain when we're lost at sea
Drop the anchor down, make sure no ones around
We'll ride this boat baby you and me
You and me, well baby you and me
You and me, well baby you and me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I don't know. I've listened to this song so many times (live and whatnot) just to get that line right, but I think it is, "You're keeping all my fingers so" An expression for holding hands, perhaps?
