The same long faces in the workman's hall
Caramel crisp counts his birds
Cliff chip's lines up his dominoes
Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, drowning
Working, smirking, learning, burning, sleeping
Thieving, cheating, beating
I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim
The hall down town just burns to the ground
My boxing ring turned to ash
Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door
Stella sleep walks in the sand
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, drowning
Working, smirking, learning, burning
Sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating
I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim they're looking in
Hard up outta luck time to ride the village bike
A bike been used ten times or more
Grape vine here's the wife
Lays down her royal flush
I think I've lost another wife
Caramel crisp counts his birds
Cliff chip's lines up his dominoes
Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, drowning
Working, smirking, learning, burning, sleeping
Thieving, cheating, beating
I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim
The hall down town just burns to the ground
My boxing ring turned to ash
Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door
Stella sleep walks in the sand
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, drowning
Working, smirking, learning, burning
Sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating
I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim they're looking in
Hard up outta luck time to ride the village bike
A bike been used ten times or more
Grape vine here's the wife
Lays down her royal flush
I think I've lost another wife

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
I love this song, but i have no idea what it means. Maybe the person before me is right, does anyone else know?
