The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
All these girls in the club
Far away I notice her
She's lookin' hella' good
Approach her, I think I should
I sense some rose over there
Somehow she's over here
Gotta whisper in her ear
Let's leave
Infatuation has got me nice and clear
No information about her, I don't care
Maybe I do, but I just want what I get
I'm just a man, might not get another chance
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Infatuation has got me nice and clear
No information about her, I don't care
Maybe I do, but I just want what I get
I'm just a man might not get another chance
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Far away I notice her
She's lookin' hella' good
Approach her, I think I should
I sense some rose over there
Somehow she's over here
Gotta whisper in her ear
Let's leave
Infatuation has got me nice and clear
No information about her, I don't care
Maybe I do, but I just want what I get
I'm just a man, might not get another chance
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Infatuation has got me nice and clear
No information about her, I don't care
Maybe I do, but I just want what I get
I'm just a man might not get another chance
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Seem like we forgot about love
Spend so much time in the club
Seem like we forgot about love

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,
