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.
Methadonia
They weeble and they wobble
But they don't fall down
You see the fed has got their back
And they say, it's better than crack
Plus it keeps them mellow and passive
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
There are three around my way
And all day I see them straying
Up the block and down the stairs
Comin' in groups but leaving in pairs
Like suckers with their weeks supply
Your eye and I see you selling the elixir of life
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
I see you hangin' on my stoop
You better swoop before I do
Some jammies in your eye
Because the place in which you're sent
By your liquid orange friend
Has kept you from it for so long
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them all fucking to the land
The land of Methadonia
They weeble and they wobble
But they don't fall down
You see the fed has got their back
And they say, it's better than crack
Plus it keeps them mellow and passive
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
There are three around my way
And all day I see them straying
Up the block and down the stairs
Comin' in groups but leaving in pairs
Like suckers with their weeks supply
Your eye and I see you selling the elixir of life
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
I see you hangin' on my stoop
You better swoop before I do
Some jammies in your eye
Because the place in which you're sent
By your liquid orange friend
Has kept you from it for so long
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them to the land
The land of Methadonia
And takes them all fucking to the land
The land of Methadonia

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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.
My song bitches hahaha i love this song. Its about the drug methadone that is prescribed to crack/ heroine users as a "replacement".
