In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

oh itty bitty titty girl where are you
oh itty bitty titty's our love was true
oh my itty bitty titty so young and so unused
now itty bitty titty plays a mean hopscotch
as she does her little ditty i can stare at her crotch
oh my itty bitty titty little queen of double dutch
now itty bitty titty girl where are you
oh itty bitty titty with those eyes so blue
oh i love how itty bitty titty's little blouse is so see through
::laughter::
shut up
::laughter::
so itty bitty titty now you're off to camp
well i bet those itty bitty undies still are damp
i'll be waiting for september in the playground outside your class
now itty bitty titty quit when i wasn't through
i found a place to keep her hid where nobody knew
and now my itty bitty titty lines up all of my afternoons
oh itty bitty titty as i came she blew
she doesn't hold a candle to our black (zoo zoo?)
as she clutches itty bitty titty
now we're three from two
oh itty bitty titty girl where are you
oh itty bitty titty's our love was true
oh my itty bitty titty so young and so unused
now itty bitty titty plays a mean hopscotch
as she does her little ditty i can stare at her crotch
oh my itty bitty titty little queen of double dutch
now itty bitty titty girl where are you
oh itty bitty titty with those eyes so blue
oh i love how itty bitty titty's little blouse is so see through
::laughter::
shut up
::laughter::
so itty bitty titty now you're off to camp
well i bet those itty bitty undies still are damp
i'll be waiting for september in the playground outside your class
now itty bitty titty quit when i wasn't through
i found a place to keep her hid where nobody knew
and now my itty bitty titty lines up all of my afternoons
oh itty bitty titty as i came she blew
she doesn't hold a candle to our black (zoo zoo?)
as she clutches itty bitty titty
now we're three from two

Hayalperest
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.

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,

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.
do you know Elijah? cause i have met him a few times and from what i have seen he is surely not a pedophile and has a very good taste when it comes to women? i mean he dated Heather Grahm she was older then him..
