Oh, ooh
Oh

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm a-huntin', lookin' for a come up
This is somethin' awesome

Walk into the club like "What up? It's me and LindseyStomp"
I'm so pumped about some swag from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe is so so frosty
The People like "Woah, that's a cold cold tee tee"

Rolling in, rolling deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink except my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girl standing next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets
Shh
But wait, it was 99 cents

Coppin' it, washin' it 'bout to go and get some compliments
Passin' up on those moccasins
Someone else has been walkin' in, bummy and grungy,
I am starting and flossing and saving my money and I'm really happy
That's a bargain trip

I'mma take your grandpa's style
No fo' real, I'mma take his style
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie Brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
They had a broken keyboard, so I bought that broken keyboard
I'm bought some blankets and a mouse as a reward
To say "Hello, hello" and to take a photo
John Wayne ain't got nothin' on my fringe game, no no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneakerheads would be like "Ah, he got the Velcros"

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm a-huntin', lookin' for a come up
This is somethin' awesome

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm a-huntin', lookin' for a come up
This is somethin' awesome

What you know about rockin' a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowin' about wearin' a fur fur fox skin?
I'm diggin', I'm diggin', searchin' right through that luggage
While another man's trash is another man's come up

Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button up shirt
'Cause right now, I'm up here and I wanna flirt
I'm at the Goodwill, you can find me in the on sale
I'm that, I'm that sucker searchin' in that section, on sale

Your Grammy, your Aunty, your Momma, your Mammy
I'll take those flannel zebra jammies, second hand and I'll rock that even better
The built-in onesies with the socks that's even better
I hit the party and they never stop even better

They be like "Oh that Gucci, that's so tight"
I'm like "Yo, that's fifty dollars for a t-shirt"
Limited edition, let's do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a t-shirt, that's just some ignorant business
I call that getting swindled and tricked
I call that getting swindled by the business
That shirt's really dope
And havin' the same one as six other people in the club is a no no
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Tryna get the girls from a brand? Then you really won't
You really won't
You really won't
Really won't?
You really won't
You really won't?

I weal your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big old coat
From that thrift store down the road
I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big old coat
From that thrift store down the road

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm a-huntin', lookin' for a come up
This is somethin' awesome

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm a-huntin', lookin' for a come up
This is somethin' awesome

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
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
