a victim of collision on the open sea nobody ever said,
life's for free sink, swim,
go down with the ship use your freedom of choice
i'll say it again, in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice your freedom of choice
in ancient rome
there was a poem
about a dog
who had two bones
he licked the one
he licked the other
he ran in circles
he's not dead! freedom of choice
is what you've got freedom of choice
then if you got you don't want
it seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by what you see
you got two ways to go
i'll say it again, in the land of the free use
your freedom of choice your freedom of choice
freedom of choice is what you've got freedom of choice
in ancient rome
there was a poem
about a dog
who had two bones
he licked the one
he licked the other
he ran in circles
he's not dead! freedom of choice
is what you've got freedom from choice
is what you want freedom of choice
is what you've got freedom of choice

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,

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.
