I like to dream
My body lands
The window boils of Summer germs
The bed was warm and as is ferns
The cup is broke
Is the pillow dry?
The window smoke where the spirit lies
Get inside my head you see
Get inside

And as I got my fall I lean back
Dragons chase, shallow box across your face
Hit by rocks we never learn
Eastern tales the pillars turn
Pleasure fails are thick as thieves
Now more cardboard crimson leaves
Be going through the motion (motion)

In the sun they meet again
Soul is cold and widen a smile
Busy play and the DJ keeps
Padded bees when the needle stings
The penny drops in bullet time
Pain on vile while kissing, why?
Any idea that has drawn my past
Come and go fast

Going through the motion (motion)
Beckons in motion (motion)
Be going through the motion (motion)
Beckons in motion (motion)

I have a choice, but will I learn as
The window boils of Summer germs
The bed was warm and as is ferns
The cup is broke
Is-is the pillow dry?
The window smoke where the spirit lies
Get inside my head you see
Get inside

And as I got my fall I lean my back on
Dragons chase, shatter box across your face
Hit by rocks we never learn
Summer pans and pillings turn
Now were cardboard, thick as thieves
Crimson leaves, that has turned
Now were going anytime
Now we can move anytime

Be going through the motion (motion)
Beckons in motion (motion)
Be going through the motion (motion)
Beckons in motion (motion)

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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
