This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I stole a quarter when I was a kid
And momma said I'd be sorry for the sin that I did
And daddy whopped me
And the preacher said shame
But I guess the Bible lessons didn't take
'Cause I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil won't even notice when I die
Don't ya figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
Boss Hogg, politicians taken' pork-barrel bribes
Crooked corporation honchos get off with no time
Christmas Eve burglars stealing good children?s toys
Pop stars hanging out with little boys
Yeah, I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil won't even notice when I die
'Cause I figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
There's gonna be a bonfire burning
An everlasting barbeque
But with all the bad stuff going on
There ain't gonna be room for me and you
Yeah, 'cause I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil he won't notice when I die
Don't you figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
The way I figure he's got bigger fish to fry
Man, it's hot in here
And momma said I'd be sorry for the sin that I did
And daddy whopped me
And the preacher said shame
But I guess the Bible lessons didn't take
'Cause I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil won't even notice when I die
Don't ya figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
Boss Hogg, politicians taken' pork-barrel bribes
Crooked corporation honchos get off with no time
Christmas Eve burglars stealing good children?s toys
Pop stars hanging out with little boys
Yeah, I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil won't even notice when I die
'Cause I figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
There's gonna be a bonfire burning
An everlasting barbeque
But with all the bad stuff going on
There ain't gonna be room for me and you
Yeah, 'cause I cuss and I smoke
I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor vices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars
I've lusted in my heart
My ex-wives think I ought to burn in Hell
But the devil he won't notice when I die
Don't you figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
The way I figure he's got bigger fish to fry
Man, it's hot in here

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
