This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Even the rats know the trouble's gonna come
To the edge of the city see the little guys run
I hear spring is nice in Canada
Maybe the men up on Capitol Hill
Need a little less Jack and a little more Jill
You can have my stereo
Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy getting heavy in the sun
Take a love song and beautify
I hear the words but the meaning gets lost
It's a game, it depends on who the ball gets tossed
It's the same ball anyway
You're tuggin' me now, cut me loose or take me on
You can play, you can pay the piper all night long
That's some good home cookin'
Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy getting heavy in the sun
Take a love song and beautify
To the edge of the city see the little guys run
I hear spring is nice in Canada
Maybe the men up on Capitol Hill
Need a little less Jack and a little more Jill
You can have my stereo
Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy getting heavy in the sun
Take a love song and beautify
I hear the words but the meaning gets lost
It's a game, it depends on who the ball gets tossed
It's the same ball anyway
You're tuggin' me now, cut me loose or take me on
You can play, you can pay the piper all night long
That's some good home cookin'
Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy getting heavy in the sun
Take a love song and beautify

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,
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I dunno, it seems to me the narrator of the song is telling how he doesn't care what happens in the world as long as he can enjoy his own life(ie, take a love song and beautify). Even though everyone else is running and panicking, he is content to lay back and chill. But I may think this only because I am apolitical myself- just goes to show how a listener often finds much deeper meaning in a song than was originally intended, thanks to the influence of his own beliefs.
