This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I make you say ooh, ooh,
I make you say oooooooh
I got the dirty old hands
of a drummer in a band
but I never really hit the sticks
I got the sunburned tan of every working man
Who's spent a minute in a ditch
And I ain't gonna try to tell another lie
you never should have let me in
Cause I'm the type of guy who (?) show you where my hands have been
This is now
That was then
You broke my heart, I let you in
This is now, that was then
I fucked around, with all your friends
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
This is now,
That was then
Forget about the past and lets hit it again
I make you say ooh, ooh, I make you say oooooooh,
Shes eleven out of ten
Got a body with a pin
You can pull it like a hand grenade
And I don't know where shes going
But I know where shes been
Cause its the only time my beds been made
And I ain't gonna try to tell another lie
You tripped me when you let me in
Cause I'm the type of guy who
Drinks until his eyes lose
Sight of whats in front of him
This is now
That was then
You broke my heart, I let you in
This is now, that was then
I fucked around, with all your friends
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
This is now,
That was then
Forget about the past and lets hit it again
She's the portrait of a model
I'm just a picture of a man
She's got her fingers on a bottle
But I'm drinking from a can
And she's always seeing people
And I'm always on my own
But shes right here begging
Saying take me home, take me home
This is now
That was then
You broke my heart, I let you in
This is now, that was then
I fucked around, with all your friends
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
This is now,
That was then
Forget about the past and lets hit it again
I make you say oooooooh
I got the dirty old hands
of a drummer in a band
but I never really hit the sticks
I got the sunburned tan of every working man
Who's spent a minute in a ditch
And I ain't gonna try to tell another lie
you never should have let me in
Cause I'm the type of guy who (?) show you where my hands have been
This is now
That was then
You broke my heart, I let you in
This is now, that was then
I fucked around, with all your friends
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh oh
This is now,
That was then
Forget about the past and lets hit it again
I make you say ooh, ooh, I make you say oooooooh,
Shes eleven out of ten
Got a body with a pin

Forget about the past and lets hit it again

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.
Punchline

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.
Head > Heels

“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.

I know of a band that most don't, they're under appreciated and don't have the recognition they deserve.
