This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I were a tailor I could make you a tie
If I were a baker I might bake those things you like
And I wouldn't mind taking my time
If I were your paper you could read me like a book
If I was your pen, then you could hold me in your hand
And I wouldn't mind you taking your time drawing the straight lines
If I were a snow plow I could plow a path to you
If I were a snow flake I would fall right next to you
And if I were your wood stove I could keep you warm at night
If I were the fire I could keep you warm all night
And I wouldn't mind taking my time
No I wouldn't mind taking my time for you
If I were a baker I might bake those things you like
And I wouldn't mind taking my time
If I were your paper you could read me like a book
If I was your pen, then you could hold me in your hand
And I wouldn't mind you taking your time drawing the straight lines
If I were a snow plow I could plow a path to you
If I were a snow flake I would fall right next to you
And if I were your wood stove I could keep you warm at night
If I were the fire I could keep you warm all night
And I wouldn't mind taking my time
No I wouldn't mind taking my time for you

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
It's just what it sounds like, a cute love song. I love this song, it's my favorite song off of the album.
I don't think this is a cute song at all. This is a beautifully haunting song about when someone just cannot do what the other person needs in a relationship. The end could possibly be the one of the purest forms of rage ever written, but that doesn't seem like Julie, so it's probably just more of the primary template without any searing implications... but I'm not totally convinced about that...
I would like to think these lyrics are have been intentionally chosen, painstakingly crafted, and laden with scorching double entendre that masks vicious anger with cute nothings. I immediately liked (most of) Julie's songs, but interpreting her as a sevant lyricists makes her even better.
Why a tie? A tie is worn around a neck...
Why a baker? Well, this is the only line that I'm don't have any interpretation for. And I wouldn't mind taking my time? The subject does mind taking her time.
If I were your paper you could read me like a book? Extreme sarcasm. If I was your pen, then you could hold me in your hand? An accusation of the opposite.
And I wouldn't mind you taking your time drawing the straight lines? Straight lines, as in straight lines in the sand, and various other military/belligerence styled connotations.
If I were a snow plow I could plow a path to you? You are so cold that I need a snow plow.
If I were a snow flake I would fall right next to you? You are the winter. And if I were your wood stove I could keep you warm at night? Just setting up the next line, I believe.
If I were the fire I could keep you warm all night? I am the fire and I will happy burn you.
And I wouldn't mind taking my time? Literal, given the previous sentiments.
No I wouldn't mind taking my time for you? Same.
Hopefully people find this song as fascinating as I do.
