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.
Well I'm back again, you thought you got rid of me
I talk too much and all I care about is me
I'm back again, I'm here to waste more time of yours
I just needed a couple of bucks or maybe more
Well let me throw my two cents in then I'm out
Just want to let you know kid that I got clout
And I'll use it in another night cause I choose it
Got to run through cause you know I got to make this last
Well, I'm back again, I wonder why you're never home
I called ten times a today, I guess you weren't alone
I'm back again, some things that I need to do
I need to borrow your car, I'll get it back by two
Second time through and I know you got some cash
Need a little dough cuz I got to hook up a stash
Right? Or maybe stay the night
Just say no and I'll act like I'll go
and you said 1,2,3 go!
Hey kid where you running off to?
I know you want me can't live without me
Say kid, where you running off to?
I know you want me and you'll be back again
Well I'm back again, and full of immaturity
I failed re
hab, got frired from the KFC
I'm back again, I see you when you stare at me
I know you love it and late at night I'm in your dreams
Wait a minute now why you trippin'
Need a place to stay for the weekend
Listen cause I'm speaking
Maybe take your car for a ride
Pick up my man Zummy waiting outside
Goldtoof said 1,2,3, Go!
Chim

008 coming out first rate
Take a trip to your place even though you got a date
And I know it's just a game that you're playing
I'm saying that you boyfriend is a dork so I'm staying
So check me
And no I won't ask, you won't let me
Take all of your money if you let me
Are you sorry that you met me?
My time is all up so kid I got to go
A day in the life of super ho, go!
Hey kid, where you running off to?
Don't you want to roll back around again?
Hey kid, don't you want to be rocking out too?
Don't you want to roll back around again?
I talk too much and all I care about is me
I'm back again, I'm here to waste more time of yours
I just needed a couple of bucks or maybe more
Well let me throw my two cents in then I'm out
Just want to let you know kid that I got clout
And I'll use it in another night cause I choose it
Got to run through cause you know I got to make this last
Well, I'm back again, I wonder why you're never home
I called ten times a today, I guess you weren't alone

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
This song is too cool
love this song lol
hilarious
