(yes yes y'all)
standin on the corner makin eyes at the commuters makin eyes
(yes yes y'all)
livin on a barstool and lyin to the barflies tellin lies
(alright alright)
your arms look just like speaker cords you crawled out of the pager store
(smokin weed and makin money)
your eyes they look like open sores you made love to the jersey shore
(livin large livin large)
these bathroom stalls they're speakin volumes on your ethical slips
(alright alright, lifter puller)
matriculated new haven and bridgeport's when you're turnin all your tricks
(smokin weed and makin money)
the swindles and the bindles are keepin you from sleepin
(yes yes y'all)
tattoo mags and the sandwich bags and now you've lost your feeling
standin on the corner makin eyes at the commuters makin eyes
(yes yes y'all)
livin on a barstool and lyin to the barflies tellin lies
(alright alright)
your arms look just like speaker cords you crawled out of the pager store
(smokin weed and makin money)
your eyes they look like open sores you made love to the jersey shore
(livin large livin large)
these bathroom stalls they're speakin volumes on your ethical slips
(alright alright, lifter puller)
matriculated new haven and bridgeport's when you're turnin all your tricks
(smokin weed and makin money)
the swindles and the bindles are keepin you from sleepin
(yes yes y'all)
tattoo mags and the sandwich bags and now you've lost your feeling

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I have to admit, I'm disappointed that this song doesn't actually have anything to do with Lake Street. The title is depressingly misleading.
It's a fine song and everything, but goshdarnit, if a song presents itself as being about a sketchy Minneapolis street, it should BE about that street.
