Nail gun marines, foaming midget horses
Black smoke threads a straight line
From your kidney to your hand
From your hand to kingdom come
Be light enough to ride,
The backside of a magnet
Let it stay in lust with all the
Silver ghosts and dirty pictures
Fire in the horses mouth
Spitting cherry stems
And square knots and drunk flies in the elevator camera
The backside of a magnet
Let it stay, let it stay
Let it fold, let it fold
The alderman are praying, praying to your picture
St. Martha locomotion, snakes under foot
If Easter was a river and the river folded under
Be light enough to ride
Let it stay, let it stay
Glass behind the the plains, hanging out ether Jesus strobe
Decatur when you're blown, when the river folded under
Shifting plates and bottle rockets
Ground out with your shoe, St. Martha with the serpents
Let it stay, let it stay
Let it fold, let it fold
Black smoke threads a straight line
From your kidney to your hand
From your hand to kingdom come
Be light enough to ride,
The backside of a magnet
Let it stay in lust with all the
Silver ghosts and dirty pictures
Fire in the horses mouth
Spitting cherry stems
And square knots and drunk flies in the elevator camera
The backside of a magnet
Let it stay, let it stay
Let it fold, let it fold
The alderman are praying, praying to your picture
St. Martha locomotion, snakes under foot
If Easter was a river and the river folded under
Be light enough to ride
Let it stay, let it stay
Glass behind the the plains, hanging out ether Jesus strobe
Decatur when you're blown, when the river folded under
Shifting plates and bottle rockets
Ground out with your shoe, St. Martha with the serpents
Let it stay, let it stay
Let it fold, let it fold

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.

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.
