Test your metal!

You been around town with an original sound
And everyone knows who you are
All you really got is your name
But everybody loves you the same
The party don't start
'Til you walk in the bar
And the crowd is waiting on you
As soon as they hit the lights
Take flight

But there's not many places you can play
And all the faces stay the same
I'm not trying to say this town is lame
But it's time

Test your metal!
Hot nights, under city lights
Test your metal!
We are the night

Trust me when I say to hit the road and escape
Can you hear them calling for you
Just try to take it day by day
The next town ain't so far away
There's a world outside, let's take a ride
I'm not gonna say it again
Now's the only chance you got to rock

Don't let your dreams get away
Get up, go forth and make them scream
It's time

Test your metal!
Hot nights, under city lights
Test your metal!
We are the night
Come on!

Test your metal!
Hot nights, under city lights
Test your metal!
We are the night

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,

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.
