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.
Whatcha gonna do with all that tripe
All that tripe comin' out of your pipe?
I'm gonna make make make you wipe
Make you wipe wipe
Make you wipe
Whatcha gonna do with all that turd
All that turd in the back of your herd?
I'm gonna make make make you scrub
Make you scrub scrub scrub the bird.
Whatcha gonna do with all that mush
All that mush inside your plush?
I'm gonna make make make you flush
Make you flush
Make you flush
My dumps
My dumps
My dumps
My lovely lady dumps
In the back and in the back
Take a dump!
They buy me things like Depends
2-ply, or it deepens
My flow it's like my best friends
It's running off the deep end
My junk is on the run
They buy Imodium
My cheeks I start to spread
To show my turtle head
I have this lil' glass table
You lie down underneath, yo
You look up to the glass
And you see my little ass
I douche or enema
It make you say "muh muh"
They say it makes them cum when
They see between my bum
My dumps
My dumps
My dumps
My lovely lady dumps
In the back and in the back
Andy Gump!
I met a girl down at the rock bar
She said "let, let me shit in your car"
You could be my litter
I could be your piss pot
Let's spread, shit, and squat
And mix your poo with my pee pee juice
My poo with you pee pee juice
Poo poo pee pee juice
Poo poo poo poo pee pee juice
She's got me scatting
(Scatological cal, Scatological)
She's got me scatting
(Scatological, cal...)
Whatcha gonna do with all that tripe
All that tripe comin' out of your pipe?
I'm gonna make make make you wipe
Make you wipe wipe
Make you wipe
Whatcha gonna do with all that turd
All that turd in the back of your herd?
I'm gonna make make make you scrub
Make you scrub scrub scrub the bird.
Whatcha gonna do with all that mush
All that mush inside your plush?
I'm gonna make make make you flush
Make you flush
Make you flush
My dumps
My dumps
My dumps
My lovely lady dumps
In the back and in the back

Uh-huh take a shit!
Uh-huh take a shit!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Gentle Hour
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Err - it 's supposed to read: *by-product [our] culture produces", not "or".
