This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Me and Billy boy and old lady Jane
We hitched a ride, took a fast movin' train
Got to the top with our heads spinnin' round
You never know just what you got until you're comin' back
Down on the farmland Mississippi shade
The folks down there they told me take it day by day
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
I got a long way to go before I reach the light of day
Monkeys on my back I gotta find a better way
Same old story never get just what you want
The more you got, the more you want
Sometimes you do and then you don't
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
Don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been
Look around me everybody's trying to win
On the last mile
On the last mile
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand, yeah, yeah
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
The last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
The last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
We hitched a ride, took a fast movin' train
Got to the top with our heads spinnin' round
You never know just what you got until you're comin' back
Down on the farmland Mississippi shade
The folks down there they told me take it day by day
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
I got a long way to go before I reach the light of day
Monkeys on my back I gotta find a better way
Same old story never get just what you want
The more you got, the more you want
Sometimes you do and then you don't
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
Don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been
Look around me everybody's trying to win
On the last mile
On the last mile
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
'Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand, yeah, yeah
And walk the last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
The last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears
The last mile before I sleep
It'll be a while before I get my peace
With the same style I walked for years
On the last mile I can rest my fears

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
