This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
Under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
Used to find love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
I was as pale as the lace on my wedding gown
But I left him standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when I heard the guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Well maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But what I did before love came to town
Before love came to town
When love comes to town, when love comes to town,
When love comes to town, when love comes to town
Gonna, gonna catch that flame, when love comes to town,
When love comes to town, yeah when love comes to town,
When love, when love, when love, when love comes to town
Yeah when love comes to town
When love comes to town
Under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
Used to find love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
I was as pale as the lace on my wedding gown
But I left him standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when I heard the guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Well maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But what I did before love came to town
Before love came to town
When love comes to town, when love comes to town,
When love comes to town, when love comes to town
Gonna, gonna catch that flame, when love comes to town,
When love comes to town, yeah when love comes to town,
When love, when love, when love, when love comes to town
Yeah when love comes to town
When love comes to town

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
