This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I don't care about life
Or the world around me
I've got a place to go
I don't care what you say
Words cannot harm me
You're going down below
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
I don't care for your views
Or your style of living
You're going to fail the test
You can argue all night
I have no misgivings
And I never get depressed
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
You may think that it's strange
This is all I live for
But you can't understand
If you listen to me
I'll explain it carefully
You must know I am right
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
He'll give you one more chance
Now's the time to take it
He's waiting for your call
You'll be up there with me
We'll be grinning in heaven
When the day of judgment comes
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
Or the world around me
I've got a place to go
I don't care what you say
Words cannot harm me
You're going down below
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
I don't care for your views
Or your style of living
You're going to fail the test
You can argue all night
I have no misgivings
And I never get depressed
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
You may think that it's strange
This is all I live for
But you can't understand
If you listen to me
I'll explain it carefully
You must know I am right
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time
He'll give you one more chance
Now's the time to take it
He's waiting for your call
You'll be up there with me
We'll be grinning in heaven
When the day of judgment comes
Come and join the fun on the way to heaven
Come and talk to god on the party line
If you can't be bothered, we don't need you
We're going to live for a very long time

Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about a religious person who doesn't care what Atheists / nonbelievers say to him when they ridicule his religion, because in the end they're all going to hell and he's going to 'Live for a very long time'. It's pretty self explanatory when you link the lyrics, but for clearance he says:
"I don't care for your views Or your style of living You're going to fail the test You can argue all night I have no misgivings And I never get depressed"
It means that he doesn't care for the people's views and in the end, they'll fail the test god has given them. In many religions, god gives people a test to see if they're worthy of his salvation. And he never gets depressed because, by stereotype people who believe god don't necessarily feel existential about live and don't get depressed (This, of course is false as there are many religious people who are depressed). The chorus, on one hand, says:
"Come and join the fun on the way to heaven Come and talk to god on the party line If you can't be bothered, we don't need you We're going to live for a very long time"
So, if you believe then you'll talk to god on the party like (A shared phone system where you can talk with multiple people), and if you don't believe then you'll be forgotten, as the ones who do believe live for a very long time (In paradise).
So, the song is about a religious person who rejects all decadent ways of life and believes in god and him only. Knowing Heaven 17 and their left-wing views, this song could be possibly mocking the extremlely devout, but that is uncertain.
On a final note, the groove (on some pressings) of the album tends to go in a loop, meaning the line "For a very long time" will go on and on. Maybe that was intentional by design, to permeate their belief of living forever? We may never know.
