You called up Jen, but she no stay
Call her back later, it will be ok
She's a really busy girl and she works at the hideaway
Or maybe try again some other day

Cause we're not home
Leave a message for Rudy at the tone

Well you called up John Grace, but he no stay
He's been busting his ass at work all day
He's pretty messed up but I think he will be ok
When he is knocking 'em back tonight at the hideaway

You called up Becka, but she's not there
She's been locked in her bedroom for days giving us a scare
Well you knock knock knock, but she don't care
She's been smoking marijuana and listening to Black Square

Well we skank, skank, skank til' the morning sun come up
Everybody all around we're lifting it back up
We don't even care what's going on today
Cause every little thing is gonna be okay

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
