This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The trees
On the hillside where we once lay
Are all dead and gone
But there's still the song that we used to sing
And now
There's a loose cat on your windowsill
And she's looking pale, oh, she's looking thin
She'd love to come inside
Oh, she'd love to be inside
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger
She swallows every move you make
With a shock of fur and electric purr,
She rubs against your leg
Her lips
They are chapped and they are trembling
With a desperate need, so simple to read
She's love them to be read
Oh, she'd love them to be read
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger
You're a paper tiger
You're a paper tiger
Now you've got the moves
We embrace you
In case you did not notice a thing
There are more of us than there are of you
You better talk the line like I told you to
The trees
On the hillside where we once lay
Are all dead and gone
But there's still the song that we used to sing
And now
There's a loose cat on your windowsill
And she's looking pale, oh, she's looking thin
She'd love to come inside
Oh, she'd love to be inside
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger [x7]
On the hillside where we once lay
Are all dead and gone
But there's still the song that we used to sing
And now
There's a loose cat on your windowsill
And she's looking pale, oh, she's looking thin
She'd love to come inside
Oh, she'd love to be inside
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger
She swallows every move you make
With a shock of fur and electric purr,
She rubs against your leg
Her lips
They are chapped and they are trembling
With a desperate need, so simple to read
She's love them to be read
Oh, she'd love them to be read
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger
You're a paper tiger
You're a paper tiger
Now you've got the moves
We embrace you
In case you did not notice a thing
There are more of us than there are of you
You better talk the line like I told you to
The trees
On the hillside where we once lay
Are all dead and gone
But there's still the song that we used to sing
And now
There's a loose cat on your windowsill
And she's looking pale, oh, she's looking thin
She'd love to come inside
Oh, she'd love to be inside
One false move
There's someone else beside her
One false move
You're a paper tiger [x7]

Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
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,

Amazing

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.
Duuude. Wrong title. One False Move
