This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If this is a game, we play
And if this is a roll, I play
Where are the words, I say to you
The words don't fit the picture anymore
And if we've been acting all along
And we both act right and we both act wrong
Where does it say that we should cry
It's just the words don't fit the picture anymore, anymore
The words don't fit the picture anymore
No need to force the love scenes anymore
And a one act play comes to an end
And we turn to leave, we can both part friends
But this is the time to say goodbye, goodbye
'Cause the words don't fit the picture anymore, anymore
And if this is a roll, I play
Where are the words, I say to you
The words don't fit the picture anymore
And if we've been acting all along
And we both act right and we both act wrong
Where does it say that we should cry
It's just the words don't fit the picture anymore, anymore
The words don't fit the picture anymore
No need to force the love scenes anymore
And a one act play comes to an end
And we turn to leave, we can both part friends
But this is the time to say goodbye, goodbye
'Cause the words don't fit the picture anymore, anymore

Gentle Hour

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
