Wishes bounce me weightless
The infrared scope of pointlessness
The bulls are sedated and this fights fixed

Don't feel bad for the suicidal cats
Gotta kill themselves nine times before they get it right
The P.A. system keeps my hard heart beating tonight

(Oh hell yes)
I'm a nervous wreck
(Oh hell yes)
The drugs just make me reset

Knock once for the Father
Twice for the Son
Three times for the Holy Ghost

Come on in, the water's warm
Come on like I sugared you, but with a kick in the head
Like putting wings on lead
Your eyes are black in my starlight
I'm the last of my kind
(And as always I'm not addicted to you)

Follow the disorganized religion of my head
And we'll never get through customs
Let's just take off again instead

Got my degree in the gutter
My heart broken in the dorms of the Ivy League

(Oh hell yes)
I'm a nervous wreck
(Oh hell yes)
The drugs just make me reset

Knock once for the Father
Twice for the Son
Three times for the Holy Ghost

Knock once for the Father
Twice for the Son
Three times for the Holy Ghost

I'm a nervous wreck [Repeat: x3]
I'm a n-n-nervous wreck
(I'm a nervous wreck)
I'm a nervous wreck
(Oh hell yes)
The drugs just make me reset

Knock once for the Father
Twice for the Son
Three times for the Holy Ghost

(Three times)
Three times for the Holy Ghost
(Three times)
Three times for the Holy Ghost

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,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
