This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Me and Snake talk about you
Every day
I can't wait to see your face
And he tells me he feels the same
We lie awake
We're tired but we can't get to sleep
I'm tired 'cause I've scraped through the day
He's tired because he's been out late, again
And there he lies
Staring up with his big gay eyes
And whispers to me "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm tired of missing day"
I'll wait with Snake
He's soft inside but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
He's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon
Yesterday Snake told me about the time
When we came to meet you off the plane
We all drove home in?
He was proud and awfully glad that I took him out
I said "How does New York sound?"
He said "It sounds quite loud"
So pack your pipes, pack your chapstick
And your tights
Won't you phone me out at night?
We're going to visit you
We'll take a camera
And go to the zoo
And take pictures of other snakes
With you
and hope one turns out to be gay
I'll wait with Snake
He's soft inside but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
He's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon
Every day
I can't wait to see your face
And he tells me he feels the same
We lie awake
We're tired but we can't get to sleep
I'm tired 'cause I've scraped through the day
He's tired because he's been out late, again
And there he lies
Staring up with his big gay eyes
And whispers to me "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm tired of missing day"
I'll wait with Snake
He's soft inside but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
He's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon
Yesterday Snake told me about the time
When we came to meet you off the plane
We all drove home in?
He was proud and awfully glad that I took him out
I said "How does New York sound?"
He said "It sounds quite loud"
So pack your pipes, pack your chapstick
And your tights
Won't you phone me out at night?
We're going to visit you
We'll take a camera
And go to the zoo
And take pictures of other snakes
With you
and hope one turns out to be gay
I'll wait with Snake
He's soft inside but not as soft as you
I love that snake but I love you more
He's no substitute
I'll wake, I'll wake with you soon

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
"How very wrong could you be. This is a beautiful song to listen to, and despite the possibly intentional trickery of the song, it is actually about a snake shaped draught excluder from ikea."
I did read that here: "Everyone thinks it’s about my penis, but it’s not,” he remarked after playing “Snake,” which he elaborated is actually about his plans to surprise a woman in New York City by showing up with nothing but the clothes on his back and a draft snake he’d been keeping for her. As it happened, the girl was “less than thrilled,” so he wrote “I Feel Better” as a sequel, reusing the music from the chorus." (t-sides.com/)
But there seems to be a contradiction here: "Well, basically, there's, the last song on, you know "Snake"? It's me going to New York. "I Feel Better" is me coming back from New York, having failed in my attempts. I took "Snake", I took the snake to New York. The snake, it's a snake, so I took him out to New York to visit my girlfriend, to see if we could sort things out. And then it didn't work, so I flew back. So "I Feel Better" is the sequel to "Snake." (30music.com/int.php)
I prefer to think it's his pet snake.
