This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
you're good for nothing
so watch your p's and q's
best keep your nose clean
and play it by our rules
mind your way and don't make waves
and you'll get used to knowing you're no use
you're good for nothing
you only waste your time
be a good neighbour
and get back there in line
throw no stones and break no bones
and watch while we pass by on the other side
good for nothing
you're good for nothing
and so you're gonna get
nothing for good
you're good for nothing
no matter what you do
you'll never make it
to get what you want to
just give your best and then take less
there's always someone to get the better of you
suffer in silence now or else
go work for others not yourself
don't make no noise
don't make no fuss
cause then you're the others you're working for
are us
how long?
how long?
how long will you wait for?
how long will you wait for good?
so watch your p's and q's
best keep your nose clean
and play it by our rules
mind your way and don't make waves
and you'll get used to knowing you're no use
you're good for nothing
you only waste your time
be a good neighbour
and get back there in line
throw no stones and break no bones
and watch while we pass by on the other side
good for nothing
you're good for nothing
and so you're gonna get
nothing for good
you're good for nothing
no matter what you do
you'll never make it
to get what you want to
just give your best and then take less
there's always someone to get the better of you
suffer in silence now or else
go work for others not yourself
don't make no noise
don't make no fuss
cause then you're the others you're working for
are us
how long?
how long?
how long will you wait for?
how long will you wait for good?

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
