This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well tell me
Where it all went wrong
And tell me
Where you lost those damn songs
I can't say I was surprised
I heard a drink was involved
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
'Cause Santa Cruz
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far
But now and then here once in a while
Those August cowboys stole your style
don't you know he feels blind
Well your train's just rolled in on time
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
'Cause Santa Cruz,
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far
Where it all went wrong
And tell me
Where you lost those damn songs
I can't say I was surprised
I heard a drink was involved
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
'Cause Santa Cruz
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far
But now and then here once in a while
Those August cowboys stole your style
don't you know he feels blind
Well your train's just rolled in on time
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
'Cause Santa Cruz,
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far

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'

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/
Amazing
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
the second verse here is completely wrong: "Now and then hey once in a while those August cowboys stole your style don't you know youth is blind your train's just rolled in on time"
