Winter's over summer's here to stay.
I broke my heart on celluloid and watched myself decay.
The heat's a rising, ghosts are in the street.
Coming forth beyond the horizon to take our souls away.
Mirrored calm reflection broken down and battered in the street.
I need religion because everything's unholy in this heat.
I found a beauty black as ice and dying to believe
That we are melting in the street.
What's for dinner? No one can believe
That what I have is what I want and that is all I need.
Lovers come and lovers go while summe's in it's sway.
So Hold on to who you have before they go away.
Mirrored calm reflection broken down and battered in the street.
I need religion because everything's unholy in this heat.
I found a beauty black as ice and dying to believe
That we are melting in the street.
In the street...
I broke my heart on celluloid and watched myself decay.
The heat's a rising, ghosts are in the street.
Coming forth beyond the horizon to take our souls away.
Mirrored calm reflection broken down and battered in the street.
I need religion because everything's unholy in this heat.
I found a beauty black as ice and dying to believe
That we are melting in the street.
What's for dinner? No one can believe
That what I have is what I want and that is all I need.
Lovers come and lovers go while summe's in it's sway.
So Hold on to who you have before they go away.
Mirrored calm reflection broken down and battered in the street.
I need religion because everything's unholy in this heat.
I found a beauty black as ice and dying to believe
That we are melting in the street.
In the street...

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'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
