I'm gonna drink my whiskey
Gonna have my man
I know you got nothing to say
I'm gonna have my men,
Gonna steal their hearts
And save em for another day
Ain't got hang my hat
Ain't gonna take off my boots
Ain't nothin gonna stop me in my pursuit
My stage time to rehearse
Gonna see all the wonders of the universe

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day
i think i'll wear my brand new negligee
I'll probably change my mind,
It happens everytime
Just speak to my ex-fiancee
I'm gonna hunt the hunter,
Gonna serve em well done
Know where to hide, know where to run
Up goes the moon, down comes the sun
Cook my dinner while I shine my gun

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Cuz there ain't no thing like a chicken wing
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

I'd give my life to be her
I'd give my life just to be her
I'd give my sight to see her
I'd give my sight just to see her

Now here's the way I'm gonna break it down
Change my mind anytime
Cuz I got the master plan
Power my soul straight from my hand
I'm goin up north to claim my land
Set em up, rig em up, make me shiver
So look out and hide your fans
I'm a woman on fire with a huge desire,
Gonna be as good as any man.

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
