I need a break and I need one clean
Things are never what they seem
What seems close is so far away
And you keep runnin' out of words to say
But I keep on singing anyway

'Cause I'm never goin' back there
No I'm never goin' back there
Folks don't really talk much about it anymore

'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
I'm asleep when I'm awake
I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again

'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heart ache
I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you

No one calls much anymore
That's okay 'cause I don't use the phone
It feels better on your own
But don't get wasted every day alone

And I'm never goin' back there
I don't care
I don't want to talk much anymore

'Cause it's a place with no way in it It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heartache I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
