In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Salen cuando saben
Que es ésa la hora mejor la hora
Y el camino cuentan con
Que siempre van a intentar destrozar
Todo donde van algo nuevo va a pasar
Con los indios saben cómo actuar
Buceando piernas suben por las calles
Donde nadie pasará saben cómo entrar vamos
A verlos entrar con las
Alas preparadas esperan
Que pases por su sitio y con la espada
De culebra en el desván a morderte
Van a morder morderte van
No te intentes esconder de
Lo que viene, lo que viene es tuyo
Y eres tú quien debe eres tú al final
Quien se lo queda y quien
Se lo va a guardar
Ayer maravilla fui y hoy sombra
Que es ésa la hora mejor la hora
Y el camino cuentan con
Que siempre van a intentar destrozar
Todo donde van algo nuevo va a pasar
Con los indios saben cómo actuar
Buceando piernas suben por las calles
Donde nadie pasará saben cómo entrar vamos
A verlos entrar con las
Alas preparadas esperan
Que pases por su sitio y con la espada
De culebra en el desván a morderte
Van a morder morderte van
No te intentes esconder de
Lo que viene, lo que viene es tuyo
Y eres tú quien debe eres tú al final
Quien se lo queda y quien
Se lo va a guardar
Ayer maravilla fui y hoy sombra

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,

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.
they leave when they know this is the best time and way they act as always going to destroy everything wherever they go something new will happen
the Indians know how to act, diving limbs they rise through the streets where nobody will pass they know how to enter, we will see them enter
with wings prepared they hope you walk through your room and with the snake's sword in the attic they are going to bite you bite you, they're going to bite you
don't try to hide from what comes next what is yours and you are you you who must you are you in the end and you must save yourself
Yesterday Maravilla left and today shadow
