Take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright

You're the best time I have ever had
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad

Diamonds on your ankles, sapphires on your shoes
Your little gems of wisdom chase away my blues
Mama's little princess, daddy's pride and joy
I'm like a kid at Christmas, playing with your toys

You shake me in the morning, I wake up black an' blue
Ooh child, you act so wild, I'll name a hurricane after you
Scarlet fever kisses, little miss dynamite
Youngblood, you look so good, I'm gonna leave on all the lights

So I can see where I'm goin', baby
Play that thing

So take me to your river, baby, take me to your sea
Purify my soul an' pour your ocean over me
Lead me to your chamber, where you sleep at night
Scratch your name across my back, make me feel alright

I have never felt this good before
If you want I'll sleep outside your door
You're the best time I have ever had
You look so good, oh babe, you must be bad

You must be bad

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/

Punchline
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.
