This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well I was down at the Zig Zag
That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill
And everybody was talking at once and it was getting real shrill.
And I've been around the block
But I don't care I'm on a roll -
I'm on a wild ride Cause the moon is full and look out baby -
I'm at high tide.
I've got a beautiful red dress
And you'd look really good standing beside it.. I've got some beautiful new red shoes and they look so fine
I've got a hundred and five fever and it's high tide.
Well just the other day I won the lottery
I mean lots of money I got so excited
I ran into my place and I said: HEY!
Is anybody home?
Nobody answered but
I guess that's not too weird
Since I live alone.
I've got a beautiful red dress
And you'd look really good standing beside it.. Girls?
We can take it
And if we can't we're gonna fake it
We're gonna save ourselves
We're gonna make it
And if we don't we're gonna take it
We're gonna save ourselves
Save ourselves
Well they say women shouldn't be the president Cause we go crazy from time to time
Well push my button, baby
Here I come
Yeah, look out, baby
I'm at high tide
I've got a beautiful red dress and you'd look really good standing beside it..
I've got a little jug of red sangria wine and we could take little sips from time to time
I've got some bright red drop dead lips
I've got a little red card and mechanical hips I've got a hundred and five fever!!!
OK! OK! Hold it!
I just want to say something.
You know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents.
Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck.
But hey, girls?
We can take it
And if we can't we're gonna fake it
We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves
(Yeah tell it to the judge)
We're gonna make it
And if we don't we're gonna take it
We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves
We've got a fever of a hundred and five and look baby
It's high tide.
Well I could just go on and on and on...
But tonight I've got a headache
That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill
And everybody was talking at once and it was getting real shrill.
And I've been around the block
But I don't care I'm on a roll -
I'm on a wild ride Cause the moon is full and look out baby -

Hayalperest
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.

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,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Hilarious song! The subject of a woman's period is not exactly the most well-mined territory in popular songs, though it has been better-represented in contemporary poetry. Typically, Anderson plays with the imagery (high tide, red dress, fever, sangria) with sly social commentary (women's roles, pay) and wraps it all together in a frothy, bright concoction.
Given her art world grounding, I'd presume that the "Zig Zag Bar & Grill" might refers to the one in Paris near the Sorbonne. With her slyness, it wouldn't be a surprise to think of this as referencing the pro-English University of Paris' role in the trial of Joan of Arc, certainly one of the early historical female icons.
