This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Get aboard the silver bird, departing gate 19
Satisfy your Walter Mitty mind, tryin' out a dream
Your sign is Capricorn, every corner of your mind
Says you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Silver bird, take her over the bay
Silver bird, give my lady a ride
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day
Lone rangers and strangers will knock at her door
But I know my baby's no baby no more
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day
When you come home my crazy heart will greet those silver wings
Your pet dog will remember you, and I'll carry your things
We'll catch your runnin' make-up, and you will look just fine
And you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Silver bird, take her over the bay
Silver bird, give my lady a ride
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day (silver bird, take her over the bay)
(Oh, silver bird) silver bird, give my lady a ride
Satisfy your Walter Mitty mind, tryin' out a dream
Your sign is Capricorn, every corner of your mind
Says you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Silver bird, take her over the bay
Silver bird, give my lady a ride
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day
Lone rangers and strangers will knock at her door
But I know my baby's no baby no more
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day
When you come home my crazy heart will greet those silver wings
Your pet dog will remember you, and I'll carry your things
We'll catch your runnin' make-up, and you will look just fine
And you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Silver bird, take her over the bay
Silver bird, give my lady a ride
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day (silver bird, take her over the bay)
(Oh, silver bird) silver bird, give my lady a ride

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,

Plastic Bag

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This is a song about the Summer of Love meeting the Swinging Seventies. The singer's female significant other (probably his wife) has developed separate interests during their relationship ("tryin' out a dream") and the couple is separating for a definite or an indefinite period, with the woman boarding a plane to find her bliss, which may or may not include other men in her life ("[l]one rangers"). The singer is, however, confident that despite their separation, the woman will again come home and life will resume as it was ("When you come home ... [the] dog will remember you, and I'll carry your things").
