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.
Murder Inc. Shit
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby
Yo, now when I first met her all I thought was, "thong thong-thong"
Like, "Lose the lame, we can get our freakin' on"
Baby know the game, slip away, and slide me yo number
It's the last day of spring, see you first day this summer
I'm a bad motha, shut yo' mouth, pull the drop out and
Creep at a low speed, 'cause homie probably know me
I push the pedal, thoughts of your stileto
Way up in the air like I think he's here
'Cause see, every time that I'm alone with you (with you)
Homey be checkin' up on you (on you)
But if that nigga only knew (only knew)
You've got a lot of freak in you, baby
Well now it's startin' to rain, I pop the roof and the champagne
How Jay said? "Money Ain't A Thing"
It's been close a few, something even impossible
But, it's been between me and you, baby
Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby
Girl, it's on again, every year, we hummer 'em in
Beaches, houses, hoes, foes, friends
And when the day ends, that's when it all begins
You wit him? Here's my room key, holla at me
While you thinka-think I'ma hit it up
Then look at the nigga you thinkin' you love? Come on, love
We could go there, me and you, creep off all night
If you love it, in the mornin', awake with new light
If you lookin' like I ain't gonna handle his
Let me handle my biz, it is what it is
Nigga livin' his life, and that's my bitch
You know I got a wife, let's keep this thing tight, baby
Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby
Don't let the word get out (shhh), baby
This is strictly between me and you, baby
If they knew we were doin' what we were doin' it'd probably ruin
Our creep away summer in Cancun and, and I, love
The way we get away, throw away a whole day
Turn off the pagers and phones, we in the zone like
"Fuck life, we live life
This is our life, live your life"
'Cause see, every time that I'm alone with you (with you)
Shorty be checkin up on you (on you)
But if baby girl only knew (only knew)
You've got a lot of freak in you, baby
Did I ever tell you, my man love what you do
That little thing with yo tongue
You the best, who knew?
It's been close a few, at times even impossible
But, it's been between me and you, baby
Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby

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/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
all 'bout a creepy bond huh..
This song is about a creepy bond, I agree.
