All right and honorable gentlemen and lady too,
Will kindly try to restrain themselves in derring-do
As verbal hard graffiti flies and echoes wall to wall
Our precious model of democracy,
It's the house of commons brawl
One member from some dark mill town furious did cry,
As spittle frothed on folded chin to damn the lie.
Let's serve this brief amid the rush of boos and loud catcalls
Let's finish this right here and now
At the house of commons brawl
Kick, punch went the government
As with jackets off they charged heaven-bent.
Scratch, gouge went the other side
As the party firmly did divide.
Another day in the lives of those who would guide us through,
It follows perhaps that we should by their example do,
But there again I think for less poor guy went to the wall.
The wrong house but the right idea
To end the commons brawl
Will kindly try to restrain themselves in derring-do
As verbal hard graffiti flies and echoes wall to wall
Our precious model of democracy,
It's the house of commons brawl
One member from some dark mill town furious did cry,
As spittle frothed on folded chin to damn the lie.
Let's serve this brief amid the rush of boos and loud catcalls
Let's finish this right here and now
At the house of commons brawl
Kick, punch went the government
As with jackets off they charged heaven-bent.
Scratch, gouge went the other side
As the party firmly did divide.
Another day in the lives of those who would guide us through,
It follows perhaps that we should by their example do,
But there again I think for less poor guy went to the wall.
The wrong house but the right idea
To end the commons brawl

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

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.
Robin Williams once referred to the House of Commons as "Congress with a two-drink minimum." The lyrics of this song would indicate that Anderson agrees.
