This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
At every glance, you steal from me
I catch your eyes still offering
Ill-got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I vainly swear in my starved mind
To crave your look only one more time
And pray not to reap what we might sow
If borrowed love should start to grow
Borrowed love, not yours for givin'
Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Borrowed love, this road we're takin'
Toward one another's awful steep
Forgiveness for what passion wreaks
Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap
Its wages paid with misery
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I catch your eyes still offering
Ill-got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I vainly swear in my starved mind
To crave your look only one more time
And pray not to reap what we might sow
If borrowed love should start to grow
Borrowed love, not yours for givin'
Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Borrowed love, this road we're takin'
Toward one another's awful steep
Forgiveness for what passion wreaks
Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap
Its wages paid with misery
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free

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,
