The rides are fast, the thrill is mean
Your heart is pumping, you're sure to scream
You'll always go, for another ride
The second time, you'll be on the other side
You hold on tight, you have no sight, not even a clue
The carnie man has a plan, they know what to do
Round and round and round and round and round you go
Where you get off, only we'll know
You find yourself in a cold room of glass
Signs of counless children, reflections past
Things you knew and loved are hard to see
Your body's empty, your wills been taken by me
Submerged - Tell ya what I'm gonna do
Submerged - Someone's gonna make a slave out of you
Submerged - Not really sure the price you'll bring
Submerged - And you're not gonna say anything
Submerged - Now for the shocking truth
Submerged - Our conditioning it's "fool proof"
Submerged - Endless stock, supply and demand
Submerged - How about another ride, the kiddies ride for free
Another day, another town
Gather round for the greatest show on earth
That's it folks, there's for one and all
And the kiddies ride for free

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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,
