It's Friday night in a lonely town
I wonder what you're doing in the city
It's getting late
And nobody's around
I'm staring at your picture baby
You're so pretty
I get the call from the 315
They're dancing to the rhythm on the south side
It's Friday night and I'm feeling alright
And that's the bottom line
It going to be a good time

Don't waste and walk away
Tomorrow might be too late
Let's show this world tonight

Take a look at the shine in my eyes
Hear a subtle warmth in my voice
Make a choice
Fall away with me
If this is where you want to be
Take a chance to shine like the stars
Don't be afraid to follow your heart
Make a wish, baby
Count to three
And you'll be where you want to be

I'm in the car with my collar popped
Dropped top
Easy, riding low in the seat
I get a wink from a cutie in a cab
And I can read a smile
A mile across Main Street
And I can see it
By the look in her eyes
That someone's trying to have a good night
She's looking tight
And I'm feeling alright
And that's the bottom line
It's going to be a good time

Don't waste and walk away
Tomorrow might be too late
Let's show this world tonight

Take a look at the shine in my eyes
Hear a subtle warmth in my voice
Make a choice
Fall away with me
If this is where you want to be
Take a chance to shine like the stars
Don't be afraid to follow your heart
Make a wish, baby
Count to three
And you'll be where you want to be

What do you see in me?
I'll get by baby you're all I need (x4)

Take a look at the shine in my eyes
Hear a subtle warmth in my voice
Make a choice
Fall away with me
If this is where you want to be
Take a chance to shine like the stars
Don't be afraid to follow your heart
Make a wish, baby
Count to three
And you'll be where you want to be (x2)

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
