This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
When I get home from work
I want to wrap myself around you
I want to take you and squeeze you
'Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some lovin'
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
Well that's enough for me
Sometimes when you're asleep
And I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I want to reach out and touch you
But you just go on dreamin'
If I could take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some lovin'
And TV, yeah
That's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, sweetheart
That's just enough for me
You and me ain't no super stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some popcorn
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe
You're just enough for me
When I get home from work
I want to wrap myself around you
I like to hold you squeeze you
'Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
You and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Of lovin'
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am well that's what I am
I tell you, baby
That's just enough for me
I want to wrap myself around you
I want to take you and squeeze you
'Til the passion starts to rise
I want to take you to heaven
That would make my day complete
But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed
Some lovin'
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man

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,

“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.
To me it is about someone who knows he has his soulmate. They may not have much money, but they know they will always have each other. Me and my hubby played it as one of our wedding songs because we relate to it :)
One of my favorite Alice ballads.... even popular enough for him to perform it on the Muppet show!
It's an awesome song, maybe his best song.
one of the best songs ever, Makes me belive in that kind of love.
I always thought this was some sort of satire, some sort of joke. I am not sure of that, but that is what it sounds like to me.
Frank Sinatra said after performing this song at the hollywood bowl -backstage -to Alice "you are one of the most talented song writers ever."
I agree. This is one of the most un-Alice songs he ever did. It just has to be satire. Tell me that these awful lyrics could be anything more than a joke: "we share a bed, some lovin', and TV".
I've never seen this as a satire at all. One of the best aspects of Alice Cooper to me is his ability to balance that dark humor and over the top shock aesthetic with some really tender and personal ballads. I don't detect the slightest bit of sarcasm in his voice here.
this is the song my parents call "their song" my dad says it describes them perfectly, and after 22 years, still goin strong
I always thought Alice was underrated as a singer, and especially a singer of ballads. I used to cringe at glam rockers, (like Poison), doing ballads. Alice actually has a beautiful voice, when he's not growling. Plus he's a great lyricist.
@Ronnietalktorussia Agree. Lately I have come to appreciate him as an artist. Written during "simpler" times (and a recession) t distinctly remember appreciating the message of this song. I was working as a waitress when this song came over the radiok and a coworker said "I hate this song because it encourages people to just settle, to not try to improve themselves". I never saw it that way. I thought there was something beautiful about this song--it was kind of a tribute to the simple life of working people enjoying the comfort of a close relationship. Right on Alice!
