In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I love this life at winter time
There's frost cakes in the carpet
In winter time I have no legs two stumps of meat below me
A false snow fall could ruin my day its mask hung from the street wire
And winters love where could she be
Shes warming in my pocket
Just a calm and modern day
In early, early morning
Rush to her and rush to bed
Am I a better person?
It evens in, my warmth give her
The frost was heaven sent
I pulled the boy out of the box
And made that boy a man
There's frost cakes in the carpet
In winter time I have no legs two stumps of meat below me
A false snow fall could ruin my day its mask hung from the street wire
And winters love where could she be
Shes warming in my pocket
Just a calm and modern day
In early, early morning
Rush to her and rush to bed
Am I a better person?
It evens in, my warmth give her
The frost was heaven sent
I pulled the boy out of the box
And made that boy a man

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

"I love this life in winter time There’s frost cakes in the carpet In winter time I have no legs Two stumps of meat below me A false snow fall could ruin my day Its mask hung from the street wire And winters love Where could she be She’s warming in my pocket
Just a calm and modern day Getting up early every morning Rush to work then rush to bed Am I a better person? Evening, I wont give up The box is better said I pulled the boy out of his box And made that boy a man"
