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.
Yessir
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on, yeah
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on
Let's get blown
Let's get blown
(I'm just lookin')
Lookin' at the ladies, all of them fly
I don't know which one I want, dog
I can't make up my mind, girl
So won't you make it easy on me
And take this drink and hit this weed
Two step wit' me, let's slip to the dance floor
On and on, and on and on we go
I'll dip you if you want me to
You see I really want to get a little funk wit' you
Biggity bunk wit' you
A nigga want to hump you and then just comfort you
And then I'll pop the top and lay you on a cot
And get you nice and hot
Yeah, yeah, it's all to the real
We can do it like Guy, come on girl, let's chill
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on, yeah
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on
Let's get blown
Let's get blown
(Come on baby, let's get blown)
Now you can fly the friendly skies
With the S-N double O-P, D-O double G-YN
Now don't ask why
Just keep lookin' good in the hood, damn girl you so fly
We could do what you want to
You say you drink Alize or was it Malibu?
It don't really matter though
You remind me of the time when I had a ho
She kept telling me "Doggy Dog I gotta go"
So I let her get in the wind and co-macked her friend
Two plus two it equals fo'
This is some shit that could last for forever mo'
I'm tryin' to put my bid in, naw, I'm just kiddin'
Come on ma, get in
And don't ask where we goin'
Pimpn' and hoein', drink pourin' and weed blowin'
You know it, come on
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on, yeah
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on
Let's get blown
Let's get blown
(Come here baby, let me holla at you real quick)
I've been lookin' at you from the corners of my eyes
Checking out your hips, lips, tips, and your thighs
I've been wanting to do you for a mighty long time
You make a pimp want to sing "ayy ayy ayy"
We'll head to the hills, your dreams I'll fulfilled
We could do it how you want 'cause I'm oh so real
Tell on you? Nah, I won't squeal
You wit' Da Big Boss Dogg, so seal the deal
Pharrell got the baby face
And Dogg got the whip appeal, so name the place
This love I bring to you, on the real baby girl
Won't you do me a favor and sing for Snoop?
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on, yeah
Can I get my thrills?
You know you want some more girl, so come on
Let's get blown
Let's get blown
Damn (You know you want it)
If I got it, I'ma give it to you
(So come and get it) If I got it, I'ma give it to you
(If I got it) If I got it, I'ma give it to you
(Then you can get it) You know

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
