In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
you lie and cheat i might have to beat you you stab my back i might put the heat to you dont drag your feet you
know you have to face me its not just once that youve disgraced me
layout your soul get rid of the weakness dont diss your boys over some princess girls come and go but friends are a life
sentnce i'd walk away but your one of my best friends
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
a friend doesnt let a friend bang another friend's girlfriend
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
dumb enough to go there nothing will mend it
no matter the excuses or just how loose she is
what will follow wont pay for the juiciness
dude but dude
i dont know
i dont know what to say
say
i am a fucking idiot
i never should've gotten into it
and i will never do it again
say
i am a fucking idiot
i never should've gotten into it
and i will never do it again
i felt at the moment the two were introduced
he's just the type and she's a toulouse
so i took him aside
tld him she was with "D"
he said what do i look like a fucking lewinsky
two weeks later she was greased up
and screaming
the story came out
full details of reaming
so everyone hates everyone
it's all fucked up
by L.A.'s worst starjocking slut
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
a friend doesnt let a friend bang another friend's girlfriend
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
a friend doesnt let a friend bang another friend's girlfriend
dude but dude
i dont know
sorry
say i am a fucking idiot
i never should've gotten into it
and i will never do it again
say say say
i am a total piece of shit and undeniable hypocrite i promise not to do it again
your mind's a blank
your face a prank
like you took it point blank
got runover by a tank
low rank frank
no lower than you sank
when all by yourself
you're the world's biggest wank
with only you to thank
ass butthole stank
belching with all your own
piss you drank
and your own green spunk
from your morning spank
on your way to a dumpster
with an armful of crank
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
dumb enough to go there nothing will mend it
there is no piece of ass worth a friendship
dumb enough to go there nothing will mend it
nothing will mend it
i dont recommend it
i dont recommend it nothing
say
i am a fuckingg idiot
should've never gotten into it
i'm a fucking idiot
i'm a fucking idiot
into it
into it
into it
do do do
do it again
say say say
do it again
know you have to face me its not just once that youve disgraced me
layout your soul get rid of the weakness dont diss your boys over some princess girls come and go but friends are a life

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,

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.

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.
this song is great. its fucking hilarious
