Tulane and Monty opened a record store
Underneath the counter they kept the bootlegs and more
Everything was clicking, Lord, the business was good
'Til one day, man, there an officer stood
Monty jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
But Tulane made it over, and Monty he yelled,
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know that you got a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on
Well, go by your father's house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will lend us something, soon as he hits the dough
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go tell the doctor you swallowed some perfume
Tell him to make it quick, 'cause he may to testify
That you been sick in bed all day and that's a perfect alibi
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know that you got a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on
Well, speed down the alleyway in case you see the man
Go back by the shop and get the stuff from the van
Go by your father's, get the money for the bail
See if he can get us out of this dirty rotten jail
We got to get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on, Tulane, go ahead on
Underneath the counter they kept the bootlegs and more
Everything was clicking, Lord, the business was good
'Til one day, man, there an officer stood
Monty jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
But Tulane made it over, and Monty he yelled,
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know that you got a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on
Well, go by your father's house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will lend us something, soon as he hits the dough
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go tell the doctor you swallowed some perfume
Tell him to make it quick, 'cause he may to testify
That you been sick in bed all day and that's a perfect alibi
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know that you got a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on
Well, speed down the alleyway in case you see the man
Go back by the shop and get the stuff from the van
Go by your father's, get the money for the bail
See if he can get us out of this dirty rotten jail
We got to get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' far behind
Go ahead on, Tulane, go ahead on

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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
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.
