Well everybody's back
And everybody's lookin good
And everybody there's a party on Congress
So everybody grab your cups
And all you girls wear your makeup
Cause this'll be a party to remember

And all the basement bong head boys
Are staring at the ceiling
Wondering, why am I feeling so dumb
And all the new recruits
Are flying in on parachutes
From college dorms
Cause they hear it's the bomb

And of a love is buzzing
The feelings are warm and fuzzy
From bonfires blazing
And ....of a revolution
Screaming on the stereo

Well everybody's back
Oh, and everbody's lookin good
And oh jeans with holes
And I got a stomp down come and bust us this time
Well everybody back
Keep your hands in check
Raise your glass to the sky for feeling alive
And we feel so fine

And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something, lasting us through this
And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something to make us feel alive

Kegs are pouring out the love
The sun won't let the moon shine on down
We've got hours, after hours oh

And all the boys wear brand new Abercrombie and Fitch
Cause their folks got em gift certificates for Christmas
And all the girls wear Victoria Secret on their panties
And the Dandy boys wanna know their secrets

And all the hippies flock to the sound
Of acid induced rock
And all the alumni
Sit sour and bitter

While sorority chicks throw up
With their cosmopolitan hair cuts
Thinking that this life just can't get better

And of a love is buzzing
The feelings are warm and fuzzy
From bonfires blazing
And EDUCATED COMEDY
Screaming on the stereo

Well everybody's back
Oh, and everybody's lookin good
And oh jeans with holes
And I got a stomp come and bust us this time
Well everybody back
Keep your hands in check
Raise your glass to the sky
I'm alive
And I feel so fine

And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something, lasting us through this night
And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something to make us feel alive

Kegs are pouring out the love
The sun won't let the moon shine on down
We've got hours, after hours oh

Freshman on the couch
One looks at the other's watch
I can't believe I've got class at 8 o'clock
And all the drunk boys
And all the drunk girls
Scurry up the stairs at once
Looking for an empty room to make love

And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something, lasting us through this night
And we wanted, we wanted, we wanted, we wanted
Something making us feel alive

Kegs are pouring out the love
The sun won't let the moon shine on down
We've got hours, after hours oh
Come on in
Kegs are pouring out the love
The cops won't bust us tonight
Because, we've got hours, after hours oh

Well everybody's back
And everybody's lookin good
And everybody there's a party on Congress
So everybody grab your cups
And all you girls wear your makeup
Cause this'll be a party to remember

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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
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/
