I pick you up at eight,
and tell you how great you look.
You self-deprecate, remind me how you made the first move.
Sarcasm guides all exchanges and thats ok.
'Cause this is a challenge in wordplay.
Turns me on, God, in the worst way.
Its all i can say.
You're broken.
You're broken.
You're broken.
You're broken.
some sick twist of fate, rung outs turned inmates
caught in this town for you
Get the hell out of here.

Like love in the same way,
fleeting impassionate.
We're distant and feirce,
push pointing our way through the chains, tears?
But its just the alcohol and the ex's who jerk?
'Cause you'll be lost without the sex,
and cheep drinks indifference ??
I can only guess whats next.
The games of this love?? cause we're broken.
We're broken.
Some say "twist of fate", <---?
?never crossing again.
So get the hell out of here.
Oh, no.

Come back, baby.
it dont exist.
But if you'd like to maybe,
we could just live a deep sea life.
But a subconcious and unachieveable, hard to miss.
But if you come back, baby.
You could just say, "but if you'd like to maybe you could just live a deep sea life with a subconscious and unachievable monster man"

some sick twist of fate, rung outs turned inmates caught in this town for you
Cause you're broken.
Your broken.
?
?

Get the hell out of here.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
