What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?

What time do you call this?
I've been craning, bewildered all my days
To now find your face
Shining out of the crowd

Love was just a word
That friends didn't mention
'Cause love was just a joke
'Til it battered me senseless

Oh, shrink with me, tower with me
Wither with me, flower with me
Endlessly follow me
Chew me up and swallow me

Stay at least for now with me
Drink and dance and row with me
Tell me when I go too far
Stay precisely where you are

(What time do you call this?)
Call me out on all my lies
Halt my ticker with those eyes
(What time do you call this?)
Weather every winter while
Check my spelling, ring my bell
(What time do you call this?)
Don't expect endless sex
Check my spelling, ring my neck
(What time do you call this?)
Separate me from my breath
Kiss me nearly half to death, oh
(What time do you call this?)

What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?

What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?
What time do you call this?

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,

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/
