This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I watch you, wanna do you
Right where you're standing, yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day
Right in plain view, oh yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows
But we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy
I won't let you down, oh no, no
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No, oh no no no
And when our city, vast and shitty
Falls to the axis, yeah
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings
Wallets and rings, oh yeah
But miss black eyeliner, you'd look finer
With each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooh love me so good
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say
(background) Alive, alive, alive with the glory of love
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Our Treblinkah is alive with the glory of love
Treblinkah, alive with the glory of love, yeah
Should they catch us, and dispatch us
to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you
With the passing of time, oh yeah
Should they kill me, your love will fill me
As one as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose, this war was worth this
I won't let you down, no I won't no I won't no I won't
Hell no no, whoa no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No no
Right where you're standing, yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day
Right in plain view, oh yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows
But we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy
I won't let you down, oh no, no
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No, oh no no no
And when our city, vast and shitty
Falls to the axis, yeah
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings
Wallets and rings, oh yeah
But miss black eyeliner, you'd look finer
With each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooh love me so good
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say
(background) Alive, alive, alive with the glory of love
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Our Treblinkah is alive with the glory of love
Treblinkah, alive with the glory of love, yeah
Should they catch us, and dispatch us
to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you
With the passing of time, oh yeah
Should they kill me, your love will fill me
As one as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose, this war was worth this
I won't let you down, no I won't no I won't no I won't
Hell no no, whoa no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No no

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this version? so much better. i love how he sings it and how it just sounds so. joyous. yes. one of my favorite songs. ever.
