This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I bongo with my lingo and beat it like a wing yo
To congo to Colombo can't stereotype my thing yo
I salt and pepper my mango shoot spit out the window
Bingo I got them in the thing yo now what? I'm doing my thing yo
Quit bending all my fingo quit beating me like you're ringo
You wanna go? you wanna win the war?
Like P.L.O. I won't surrender
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
I bongo with my lingo and eat it like a wing yo
To congo to Colombo can't stereotype my thing yo
I checked that mouth on him fucking checked that gas on him
I had him, cornered him
Fucking shut that gate on him
Why would you listen to him?
He had his way I'm bored of him
I'm tired of him
I don't wanna be as bad as him
It's a bomb yo so run yo
Put away your stupid gun yo
'Cause we see through like a protocol call
That's why we blow it up' fore we go
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
Semi-9 and snipered him
On that wall they posted him
They cornered him
And then just murdered him
He told them he didn't know them
He wasn't there, they didn't know him
They showed him a picture then
Ain't that you with the Muslims?
He had Colgate on his teeth and Reebok classics on his feet
At the factory he does Nike and then helps the family
Beat heart beat he's made it to the news week
Sweetheart seen it
He's done it for the peeps. peace.
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
To congo to Colombo can't stereotype my thing yo
I salt and pepper my mango shoot spit out the window
Bingo I got them in the thing yo now what? I'm doing my thing yo
Quit bending all my fingo quit beating me like you're ringo
You wanna go? you wanna win the war?
Like P.L.O. I won't surrender
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
I bongo with my lingo and eat it like a wing yo
To congo to Colombo can't stereotype my thing yo
I checked that mouth on him fucking checked that gas on him
I had him, cornered him
Fucking shut that gate on him
Why would you listen to him?
He had his way I'm bored of him
I'm tired of him
I don't wanna be as bad as him
It's a bomb yo so run yo
Put away your stupid gun yo
'Cause we see through like a protocol call
That's why we blow it up' fore we go
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby
The sun showers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers I'll be aiming at you
'Cause I'm watching you my baby

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.

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,

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
a boy trying to help his family through the war-ish times i guess, man this song has a great beat,, its so different than anything else, when i first heard it i thought it was awful but its deffinitly grows on you.
