This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I left you in the rain
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
Your reflection in the pane
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
Apples, pears, prunes, and plums
His favorite food, I told his mum
Wait for him at the end of the slide
When he climbs the stairs, stay by his side
I heard you got some rain
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
Looks like we're in for the same
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
I'm going early, won't wave good-bye
Tell him I love him; look him in the eye
I've learned how to mourn; I've learned how to miss
Let me disappear with this kiss
"Tuesday
A mix of sun and clouds
With a forty percent chance of showers
Early morning then sunny
Wind west twenty kilometers an hour
Gusting to 44
High of 22
UV index 50 and moderate"
Bird, book, and basketball
Squirrel, dog, and learning how to crawl
I found my heart when he came
Let my leaving leave like rain
I watched you from the train
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
When I come back I'll see you again
Peterborough and the Kawarthas
I'll listen for you every morning
I'll listen for you every morning
I'll listen for you every morning
I'll listen for you every morning

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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'
Dusty Springfield

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
So the dumb American Googled "The Kawarthas" in an attempt to figure out what this song is about and got...a weather report! LOL, I thought that was rather appropriate.
(If anyone else was wondering, it seems to be a region in Ontario. Peterborough is a town there.)
Anyway, now that I've worked that out, I think this is actually a pretty straightforward song about leaving his baby behind (to tour?), missing the baby, hoping he's well taken care of.
Oh course THe Kawarthsa is in Peterborough Ontario you dimwit! I love this song- terribly sad and very lyrical. I agree about the leaving of the little boy behind
I think it's supposed to be mum. Are not the canadians part of the commonwealth? In Australia we spell it the english way. And Mum rhymes better with plum anyway.
A great song. About someone leaving a town with his friend in it. Or its about a wife leaving her husband for a while and his mother has to take care of him. Or something like that.
I resubmitted these lyrics with "Peterborough" spelled correctly. Bow down, bitches.
Well done on the correct spelling.
Jim does well in this song, I must say. Better than Inline Bowline.
I didn't know that Jim could sing this welll. I like it.
yeah seriously, WOW. Creegan ROCKED. I think he could be better than some of the other lead vocals at times. Had no idea this was about canada. Thanks for the info. good stuff.
Jim is indeed an awesome underrated and sadly underused vocalist in the Ladies...
For further reference of his vocals, he released a few albums with his brother and former bandmember Andy Creeggan under the Creeggan Brothers... Anna on the Moon is soooo beautiful and definitely worth listening.
The song is all gibberish to me, I can listen to it all day but I would still be stuck on the lyrics...
