Oh pretty Emma
You sweet pretender
Why don't you stay around?
What's your dilemma?
Won't you please tell me Emma
I don't wanna lay you down
Sometimes it's hard to bend
Turn around
You better start all over again

Please tell me Emma [Repeat x2]

Don't get excited
You'll be invited
Wait for the wheel to turn
Don't be impatient
You'll get liberated
Everybody's got to learn
You have got to make a contribution
Then you can start to draw your own conclusion

Please tell me Emma [Repeat x4]
Emma [Repeat x3]
I'm still waiting [Repeat x2]
Emma [Repeat x2]

Sometimes it's hard to bend
Turn around
You'd better start all over again
All over again

Please tell me Emma [Repeat x4]
Emma [Repeat x3]
You'd better start relating
Start relating

Oh pretty Emma
You sweet pretender
Why don't you stay around?

Oh pretty Emma
You sweet pretender
I don't want to lay you lay you lay you down

Oh pretty Emma
You sweet pretender
I don't want to lay you down

Oh pretty Emma

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,

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
