This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
We’re not dead, just heavily sedated,
Can you tell, by the way we dress,
Got the stars stuck in our eyes
A manikin in depth to the veteran
So would you spare some change for the man with cardboard in his hands
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you
We’re just sexually frustrated
With a thirst for unknown blood
Got the warm gun at our side
Mother I fear what’s between their ears
For the bodies take a track
And the mind takes it all back
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you
Meant a thing to you
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you
Can you tell, by the way we dress,
Got the stars stuck in our eyes
A manikin in depth to the veteran
So would you spare some change for the man with cardboard in his hands
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you
We’re just sexually frustrated
With a thirst for unknown blood
Got the warm gun at our side
Mother I fear what’s between their ears
For the bodies take a track
And the mind takes it all back
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you
Meant a thing to you
And I love you more than life, as if you couldn’t guess,
When every whisper and caress that was meaningless
And my dear you are the bow
And I’m a clown stuck in this ring to entertain you
Go clinch your chest
We’ll all be dead quite soon
And it’s no easy thing, when I have never meant a thing to you

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
