There are a lot of things you don't know
If you come with me, I will show you some
There's a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean
And it never breeds and it never dies
And it has no fins and it has no eyes
It's a lot to believe, but I won't tell you lies
And there are more things in Heaven and Earth
Than in your philosophy
I'll show you some if you come with me
God's not dead, He's sleeping under ground
You can hear him in the mine shafts
And He's talking in his sleep
And He's thinking out loud
And the words He says I cannot repeat now
But you can be sure they've reached my ear somehow
And while we're on this topic
Excuse me while I wax philosophic
There's more than what you see and hear
You have to be a razor to cut through the veneer
I only ask that you come with me
My only price is your company
Don't tell your parents, don't tell your friends
Don't mention my name, don't make any plans
Meet me here, don't bother to pack
We leave tonight, just the shirts on our back
If you come with me, I will show you some
There's a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean
And it never breeds and it never dies
And it has no fins and it has no eyes
It's a lot to believe, but I won't tell you lies
And there are more things in Heaven and Earth
Than in your philosophy
I'll show you some if you come with me
God's not dead, He's sleeping under ground
You can hear him in the mine shafts
And He's talking in his sleep
And He's thinking out loud
And the words He says I cannot repeat now
But you can be sure they've reached my ear somehow
And while we're on this topic
Excuse me while I wax philosophic
There's more than what you see and hear
You have to be a razor to cut through the veneer
I only ask that you come with me
My only price is your company
Don't tell your parents, don't tell your friends
Don't mention my name, don't make any plans
Meet me here, don't bother to pack
We leave tonight, just the shirts on our back

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.
