This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This is the room where we always dreamed
Of grass and splendid evenings
Emitting frequencies, lost between the
Leaves and things
And I held on brightly, crushing quietly
Feeling mountains rising out of
Make-believe seas, creating typhoons
Of feelings not easily made without need
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze,
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
The whole slew blossomed beautifully,
And I was beside myself
So I gave into your love
As you rapture asleep, upended
And this is like I have always dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty feet
That's the way it should always be
Head over heels and deftly
Wonderful and healthy
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
I know that whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
I never thought you were here
You've never left me, have you?
You've never left me at all, not once, and I'm sorry I'm such a bore
I'm sorry I am so hard
I swear to god, I'll be good
From now on, and
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
I know that whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
Of grass and splendid evenings
Emitting frequencies, lost between the
Leaves and things
And I held on brightly, crushing quietly
Feeling mountains rising out of
Make-believe seas, creating typhoons
Of feelings not easily made without need
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze,
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
The whole slew blossomed beautifully,
And I was beside myself
So I gave into your love
As you rapture asleep, upended
And this is like I have always dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty feet
That's the way it should always be
Head over heels and deftly
Wonderful and healthy
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
I know that whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
I never thought you were here
You've never left me, have you?
You've never left me at all, not once, and I'm sorry I'm such a bore
I'm sorry I am so hard
I swear to god, I'll be good
From now on, and
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
I know that whatever happens to you,
Whatever happens to me,
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I tried my best. There are some lines that are going to be really hard to decipher without putting it through some software.
Please correct them, as this song is too beautiful to be misrepresented in this way!
