This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school
Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo
She walks across the room and she turns on the set
Every show is memorized, she can't forget
Early morning quiz is essential to watch
Would I win a car or a bottle of scotch
All that she can do is sit home and stare
And hope that there she gets a chance to go on the air
'Cause she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Her dreams and fears and wishes and her hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
But everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife
By mid-afternoon the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters of who she's obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
Hubby's home and dinner's on the wine or TV
Well, the news is on and it's just too impossible, you see
After twenty tumors, fifteen rapes and countless affairs
I can't watch the news, it's too gross, she declares
(Solo - Jay Jay)
A TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
I said a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
Everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife
Well, by mid-afternoon you know the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters with whom you're obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
Makeups all the cookings on a when it's time for bed
The TV guide is alma for but nothing is said
Will it be a late night movie starring Greer Garson
Or Joey Fisher filling in for airing Johnny Carson
A TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a TV wife with a TV life
From early in the morning till late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
And everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, wooh
Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo
She walks across the room and she turns on the set
Every show is memorized, she can't forget
Early morning quiz is essential to watch
Would I win a car or a bottle of scotch
All that she can do is sit home and stare

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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,
