Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Come on, everybody throw your hands up in the air
Come on lets
And you know, we keep the party jumpin'
So lets keep them 40s comin'
Come on down to the city of L.A
Where we, we ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
You know how we keep it bumpin' everyday, baby
We ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
Well I ride with jay-dee-oh-gee
And it's like, K, basically
We get shit faced and crazy
We're screaming "fuck the police"
J-just like easy lets smoke these with Old'E and Charlie
We mix it over a heartbeat, and run with the Undead Army
And you don't need to see the best of me
The best MC, its just a beat, produce the feeds that makes me mean
That seems to be what makes me scream so what up?
Let's roll the town fucked up
Let's sing L.A and show love?
Yo Jdog, wait, just hold up, take my mic, my PO showed up
Come on down to the city of L.A
Where we, we ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
You know how we keep it bumpin' everyday, baby
We ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
We're six caucasians, hell raisin'
Blazin', making zero pay can't wait to drink to stop the pain
To call Funny to ride with me
My pants are so low, I'm sipping on this 4-0
Rollin' in the fo' do'
Producer, me, and four ho's
Oh no
The 5-0's rollin' cold, I didn't stop, but tried to smoke
Container's open, Funny's smokin'
I think I'm chokin' it's time to go (oh)
This midnight tale, let's keep it rollin'
Keep the fuckin' and Mad Dog flowin'
Los Angeles we keep it goin'
Undead is what we're throwin'
Come on down to the city of L.A
Where we, we ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
You know how we keep it bumpin' everyday, baby
We ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
I keep'em blowin' on my head keeps gettin' fatter everyday, baby
On TV ya better listen 'cause you know they'll play me
In the club, you in the corner while my shit go crazy
And I got my soldiers in the back so you don't wanna face me
And when your girl looked up at me, I'm lookin' right down
And all that yappin', you know you gonna' be a smack down
I stick around to keep it mad while the crowd's loud
In the city of L.A, that's my hometown
Come on down to the city of L.A
Where we, we ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
You know how we keep it bumpin' everyday, baby
We ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
Come on lets
And you know, we keep the party jumpin'
So lets keep them 40s comin'
Come on down to the city of L.A
Where we, we ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy
You know how we keep it bumpin' everyday, baby
We ride with gangsta's and the pimpins' easy

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

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.
yea one of the only other songs where every guy got a part in was dead in ditches. Its a shame they didnt put it on the CD that is their best song imo.
