Complacent working class get up and off your ass
You say you'd die for freedom but the riot never comes
We need a revolution
A social Evolution,
The socialites who wave the flag are holding smoking guns
They say we have to fight,
Unite, Unite, Unite
The same old men defile the earth and take away our rights
The rules should more than bend, their world is gonna end
'Cause I'm not going down a pawn in a global class war
[Chorus]
We are the ones with the power to devour one and all
Tear down the old foundation brick by brick and watch it fall
So damn us into hell with stories that you tell
The time is now, the door is here, pass through it and you're free
The rules should more than bend,
Their world is gonna end
I'm not going down a pawn in a global class war
[Chorus x3]
You say you'd die for freedom but the riot never comes
We need a revolution
A social Evolution,
The socialites who wave the flag are holding smoking guns
They say we have to fight,
Unite, Unite, Unite
The same old men defile the earth and take away our rights
The rules should more than bend, their world is gonna end
'Cause I'm not going down a pawn in a global class war
[Chorus]
We are the ones with the power to devour one and all
Tear down the old foundation brick by brick and watch it fall
So damn us into hell with stories that you tell
The time is now, the door is here, pass through it and you're free
The rules should more than bend,
Their world is gonna end
I'm not going down a pawn in a global class war
[Chorus x3]

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/

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
An obvious meaning... Pretty good song, by the way.
