This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Yeah I'm right here with my hands in the air
Doin my little dance. I'm the man up in here
I'm feeling good I got a lot of fans up in here
My shoes see through like a kat scan up in here
Yeah I'm gettin high puttin grams in the air
Got my eyes looking like I'm from japan up in here
I brought a couple grand up in here
And my ice shine so bright you might catch a tan up in here
I'm an ape. and my man is a bear
So I aint scared of none of yal standin in here
Mami I aint your man or that man in your ear
But I want you to understand
I'm the man up in here
I'm back with the (drumma drumma drumma bass)
Snares and high hats
Yeah I'm back up in the place
You can hate it so good in the hood I'm great
I was never fake
Early like I've never been late
I'm never sober. smoking marijuana to the face
Sippin some champagne you probly never get to taste
Cuz you cant afford it. if you order by the case
For the watch I paid a quarter
Frozen water in the face
I know its a recession and a lot of people down
But Imma keep to pushin
I ain't got a bush to beat around
I'm with some freak I found,
Dancin with my hands on her hip
Imma take her home and let her dance up on my dick
Listen I'm on a mission to get richer and richer
My life like a movie
But you ain't getin the picture
Gotta get the money
Then get what money will get ya
?cuz when you gone gone you cant bring it with ya?
I wish I could rewind time and be young again
Take it back to when cats was dancin havin fun again
And get it jumpin like house party one again
If u ain't dancin u ain't comin in.
Sorry

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
