This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I wanted you, now I don't have you
It came to me as no surprise
That for all your beauty girl
It was all just a disguise
It was all just a disguise
I didn't come to be your judge
It's no concern to me
You say that life to you is pain as your life
As your life goes down the drain
Your life goes down the drain
Haunted by love and lust
Haunted by the illusion of trust
And I'm haunted in your vein of disgust
The dreams of youth die in the streets
They convince themselves they cannot lose
And in a moment in a twinklin of an eye
We are taken from this world
(Chorus)
Trying so hard to mend my heart
You're in the way again
Pulling me apart in the role you're taught
On the streets again
And I'm so glad
You're a ghost in my past
Memories of you are so painful to erase
(Chorus)
It came to me as no surprise
That for all your beauty girl
It was all just a disguise
It was all just a disguise
I didn't come to be your judge
It's no concern to me
You say that life to you is pain as your life
As your life goes down the drain
Your life goes down the drain
Haunted by love and lust
Haunted by the illusion of trust
And I'm haunted in your vein of disgust
The dreams of youth die in the streets
They convince themselves they cannot lose
And in a moment in a twinklin of an eye
We are taken from this world
(Chorus)
Trying so hard to mend my heart
You're in the way again
Pulling me apart in the role you're taught
On the streets again
And I'm so glad
You're a ghost in my past
Memories of you are so painful to erase
(Chorus)

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
