Lay down on my back
Knock me over like a heart attack
Lay down all my bets
Can't change it

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run

I know mistakes are made
Took me over like a tidal wave
I know I won't be saved
And I can't change it

I don't feel anything anymore
One by one, things I've done come crashing down
But hell has an open door
And I can't change it

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run

You said it's just what I needed
All the same places, all the same demons
You said it's just what I needed
All the same places, all the same demons

You said it's just what I needed
I never said that I listened to reasons
All the same places, all the same demons
All the same mistakes til my heart stops beating

Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run
Ooh
I've been dying to tell you to cut and run

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
