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.
We're Hey Stroker, how you doin?
This song's about a guy I know
He's super cool and he's a pro
Master at everything
Strong in my hall of fame
Always picks the latest clothes
Picks up ladies at the shows
Some things, the smartest guy
Works with me and I don' t know why
Never lost a fight
Cause look he's outta sight
Singer in a band
Just a one night stand
He's a superfly kinda guy anyway
I envy every move he makes
Walks around with a spot light on
And we all think that he's the bomb
He has her and gets a bone
Never missed a single tone
Never finished second best
He is better than the rest
Everyone's best friend
He's the leader of the trend
Never ever backstab
He's the king and wears the crown
Never lost a fight
Just look he's outta sight
Singer in a band
Just a one night stand
He's a superfly kinda guy anyway
I envy every move he makes
Walks around with a spot light on
And we all think that he's the bomb
He's a perfect guy why can't you see
You know that he's the one for me
There's no mistakes
He's promised me jewels
You know he will never break
He's always here
He's always there
You know that you can not compare
Cause you know that guy, yeah
He is superfly
This song's about a guy I know
He's super cool and he's a pro
Master at everything
Strong in my hall of fame
Always picks the latest clothes
Picks up ladies at the shows
Some things, the smartest guy
Works with me and I don' t know why
Never lost a fight
Cause look he's outta sight
Singer in a band
Just a one night stand
He's a superfly kinda guy anyway
I envy every move he makes
Walks around with a spot light on
And we all think that he's the bomb
He has her and gets a bone
Never missed a single tone
Never finished second best
He is better than the rest
Everyone's best friend
He's the leader of the trend
Never ever backstab
He's the king and wears the crown
Never lost a fight
Just look he's outta sight
Singer in a band
Just a one night stand
He's a superfly kinda guy anyway
I envy every move he makes
Walks around with a spot light on
And we all think that he's the bomb
He's a perfect guy why can't you see
You know that he's the one for me
There's no mistakes
He's promised me jewels
You know he will never break
He's always here
He's always there
You know that you can not compare
Cause you know that guy, yeah
He is superfly

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,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Good song. Good Band.
