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.
Started with a perfect frame, a high speed composite brain. Made her smart, made her think i was funny.
Gave her independent style, a super hart melting smile. Made her kind, her disposition sunny. Made her slender curvy and tall, made her not jealous at all. Made her tough but as cute as a bunny.
But when i turned her on she wasn't turned on by me. I guess cyborgs can see who they want to see.
Can you imagine my surprise, when i looked into those perfect eyes. I thought they must be mis-calibrated. At first i thought the focus was off, then i felt the horrible shock they were not, she was looking over me.
But when i turned her on she wasn't turned on by me. I guess cyborgs can see who they want to see.
Now i have a broken heart. I guess i made her way too smart. She realized, realized she's too good for me. Though it really hurt real bad, there is one thing I'm glad about, the masterpiece i unleashed on the universe.
But when i turned her on she wasn't turned on by me. I guess cyborgs can see who the want to see.

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'

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.
