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.
You're so sweet
Your smile
Your pussy and your bones
You're on fire
You move me like music
With your style
Let me think (about what?)
About girls (and what else?)
And money
And new clothes (and what do I do?)
Thirty nights of violence (uh-huh?)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung so
Shove her over railing
You're sweet, but I'm tired
Of proving this love
You're a bore
But you move me
Like a movie
That you are
Let me think (think about what?)
About girls (and what else)
And money and new clothes (and what do it get?)
Thirty nights (uhh-huh) of violence (yeah)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung so
(I can, I can) shove her over railing
You think it's easy I want you
It's not easy, look down, that's been closed
Let me think (think about what?)
About girls (and what else)
And money and new clothes (and what do it get?)
Thirty nights (uhh-huh) of violence (yeah)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung
Closer to the lung
Shove her over railing
Your smile
Your pussy and your bones
You're on fire
You move me like music
With your style
Let me think (about what?)
About girls (and what else?)
And money
And new clothes (and what do I do?)
Thirty nights of violence (uh-huh?)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung so
Shove her over railing
You're sweet, but I'm tired
Of proving this love
You're a bore
But you move me
Like a movie
That you are
Let me think (think about what?)
About girls (and what else)
And money and new clothes (and what do it get?)
Thirty nights (uhh-huh) of violence (yeah)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung so
(I can, I can) shove her over railing
You think it's easy I want you
It's not easy, look down, that's been closed
Let me think (think about what?)
About girls (and what else)
And money and new clothes (and what do it get?)
Thirty nights (uhh-huh) of violence (yeah)
And sugar to love
Closer to the lung
Closer to the lung
Shove her over railing

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
You think the hidden song could be any further into the track? Christ
