In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
[Chorus]
When you see them boys round ya way holla dammit man

Y'all can't mess with us
Y'all can't play with us
Y'all can't mess with us

This like mother nature
I really don't give a fuck
We can do it in the club
We can do it outside
We can do it right now what
Little buddie easie up
Please don't cross me like jesus
I ain't got nothing to prove
As a matter fact I done proved everybody wrong yes sir
Only chico in the south yes sir that's putting it down yes sir
That would be me p.i.t. yes sir
Its all supply and demand
Me I supply the demand
I understand that y'all wanna be me cause I am the man
Mommy threw me on my back and I was like I was like dammit man
Then she jump on my mouth and I was like I was like hum hum hum hum
One mo-gin
Mommy threw me on my back and I was like I was like dammit man
Then she jump on my mouth and I was like I was like hum hum hum hum
Dam Jimmie I wish you were here now
Rest in peace to that chico name screw
Thanks for believing in me this ones for you
[Chorus]
Yep yep
When I pull up they like dammit man
In that black phantum man
Cause they can't stand it man
Chain 200 grand
Watch with matchin' band
I'm rockin' 3 clovas (why?)
I'm from clova land
I'm drinkin' gray goose
You drinkin' redbull
I hang with zero
I roll with Pitbull
28 we tip on
Candy paint we drip wet
I be in new york with killa cam and dip set
I'm packin2 bangers the other rapper ain't gangsta (why?)
You had to say my name and you still ain't famous (dam)
Clover G's don't take no shit we bake them bitches to come up
Keep runnin' you lip my gun on my hip so don't run up
Creepin' on a come up
With million dollar shoe deal
Old cars with new wheels
Yellow rocks in blue steal
You know lil' flip got skills
You know lil' flip got mills
You can ask b.e.t how the fuck I live
They know I'm rich as fuck
So nuck if you buck
Cause down in Houston Texas
We jammit screwed up
We riddin' 84's and we also poppin' trunk
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
Da the da dammit man
[Chorus]
When you see them boys round ya way holla dammit man
When you see them boys round ya way holla dammit man
When you see them boys round ya way holla dammit man
When you see them boys round ya way holla dammit man

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.
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.
