Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?
She got a police bike
She got a turned-up nose

Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
Blue Jean, look out world, you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything

Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

Somebody, somebody (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

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,

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.

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.
