This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
From the beginning
Small lifeforms
They can kill without warning
So you don't explode
Stop you growing limbs and thinking
That you love them now you're blinking
And reminding her of him
Oh you steal his features
And your mother is a bleacher
She don't even feel the heat no
She don't even want to speak to you
But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow
Well you can try to sink down deeply
And find the children lost at sea
Find the children who discretely
Were killed in infancy
To stop them holding you and screaming
That you'll lose your wildest dreaming
Still reminding you of him
How he left without reasons
But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
I'm floating out in the water, washed out to sea
Drifting away with time you'll regret you conceived it
Clean up the dead you leave behind
Just like insects
Clean up the dead you leave behind
Small lifeforms
They can kill without warning
So you don't explode
Stop you growing limbs and thinking
That you love them now you're blinking
And reminding her of him
Oh you steal his features
And your mother is a bleacher
She don't even feel the heat no
She don't even want to speak to you
But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow
Well you can try to sink down deeply
And find the children lost at sea
Find the children who discretely
Were killed in infancy
To stop them holding you and screaming
That you'll lose your wildest dreaming
Still reminding you of him
How he left without reasons
But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
I'm floating out in the water, washed out to sea
Drifting away with time you'll regret you conceived it
Clean up the dead you leave behind
Just like insects
Clean up the dead you leave behind

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Brilliant song but these lyrics have been transcribed with too many mistakes to make any sense.
To me this is a song to all aborted babies and about the emotional torment of the mother trying not to connect to an unwanted life form made by someone they no longer love.
Stop your growing limbs and thinking That you love them now you're blinking
Oh you'll steal his features (the father) And your mother is a bleacher (compulsive cleaner) She don't even feel the heat no (she feels no pain from the bleach) She don't even want to speak to you (to connect to the baby)
The verse on children lost at sea maybe a reference to self abortions being 'flushed' down the toilet discreetly.
'Oh you, you'll always find a another womb to grow' treats a lifeform as a reincarnation of life itself. Suggesting that no matter if you are aborted you will come to exist again.
