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”
Yeah
Baby Boy,baby
Loon
It's your turn now,Kid
Show 'em what you got
I be a young handsome cat , same color chocolate
Same nigga pop shit , same nigga got shit
Loon ain't no lame ,Loon never gossip
Nigga Loon to gain 'cause Loon got some hot shit
Sick of you cats screamin' I block shit
I done sold numerous drugs and do the block six
Look at me now , I pull up in a drop six
Bitch on your block lookin' my watch and she got sick
Lookat her now all up in the cockpit
Rollin' my windows up to get a kid's hot quick
Loon is a pimp , trick ain't the topic
Nigga, you do the shrimp , trip to the tropics
It's not my steez, not like me
It's not the way I wanna blow my cheese
like I blow my trees
The whole world know what I need
A girl that'll curl my toes for me
How u want that
Tell me how u want that
How u want that
Daddy, how u wanna give it to me
A Bad Boy is what I need
How u want that
Tell me how u want hat
How u want that
Tell me how u want that
Daddy ,how u wanna give it to me
A Bad Boy is what I need in my life
Mass-confusion
Party with Puff last conclusion
Grab shorty there with the hair, ass is huge and
Lips is juicy , way she move her hips so loosely
Critical curve , see and through furs
Curious , so I wanna see if it's hers
Delirious,so I had to see if it's hers
(It wasn't me) I'm in touch with the song,
me and my words
You ain't gotta flip the script , kick me to the crub
I was just checkin' u , wasn't disrespectin' u
Lips are sexual , why your friends protectin' u
Baby girl , I know you're far from a slut
I know the difference between a car and a truck
I'm not dumb nigga
U had this young nigga scarrin' u up
U nat a dumb nigga
So let's thake it from the car to the club
And the hit to the bar and get a bottle of bub and have
fun, nigga
How u want that
Tell me how u want that
How u want that
Daddy, how u wanna give it to me
A Bad Boy is what I need
How u want that
Tell me how u want hat
How u want that
Tell me how u want that
Daddy ,how u wanna give it to me
A Bad Boy is what I need in my life
Have a little small chat , small huddle
Time to make more money than trouble
And we all hungry and hustle
And we all humble
But together we got more muscle
And we got dough, nigga ,me and P., we hot yo
Make a Hip-Hop show look like a Rock show
For Jesus Christ , nigga , where did the Ros' go
Want the world to see, so we keepin' them tops low
Roscoe , keep it on my left for Brosco
Drop dog, get the illest cat with the hot flow
Watch a pro , try to grow him a snot nose
I pity the fool , never touched Cesar's cool
So u can't hang with Diddy and Loon
The all-star P.Diddy was coll
Got more broads than u and any nigga in your crew,
Bad Boy
How u want that
Tell me how u want that
How u want that
Daddy, how u wanna give it to me
A Bad Boy is what I need
How u want that

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
