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.
We don't accept no poetry
Don't go tearing down the reminders
The keepers and finders
Polish them up
Tumbling down
Translations of The Raven
Don't go tearing down the reminders

Whooping cough
Something to hide
Something to know
Give it a go
Back up your mind
There's stories that haven't been told
Or found because no one wants to know about
Misery and that pain once again
Tearing down the reminders
Of the intense felt by all
From the beginning to the end of all things natural
There was some kind of
There was and love lost
Don't be us versus them
Cause it comes down to you
Us all
And that can't work
In a place where the heart must be large
And must be dependent on
The heart dependant upon
The chores are shared by all
And there is no repair
No repairing the mistakes
You are not following your heart's desire
To be worthy of
Three sizes too small
The heart is a muscle that must be exercised
An enlarged heart
Is not exercised
Properly or so they say

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,

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.
Idk, maybe something about booster shots, immunizing yourself which in turn protects everyone around you from catching whatever diseases he yells. It comes down to you and us all. Exercise compassion, help yourself, help others, be as one man. Enlarged heart? Maybe people who are overly compassionate?
