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.
そう我は人間と呼ばれる最悪の悪さ
あらゆる生命の支配 天敵は同種族
争いに刻まれた歴史から
決して教訓は得られない 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
判決被告の罪は原罪より重い
恐れる事無かれ執行人が不在
その飽くなき破壊は常軌を逸っし
自虐を極めて尚 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
"A verdict has been reached
The court finds the defendant guilty"
Once more, the hunting season
We shoot at will why does god permit it?
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
あらゆる生命の支配 天敵は同種族
争いに刻まれた歴史から
決して教訓は得られない 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
判決被告の罪は原罪より重い
恐れる事無かれ執行人が不在
その飽くなき破壊は常軌を逸っし
自虐を極めて尚 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
"A verdict has been reached
The court finds the defendant guilty"
Once more, the hunting season
We shoot at will why does god permit it?
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad

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/
