This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Yer stoned Italian cowboy he's a hustler in the dark
Buggerin the beauties promenading past the park
His ostrich buckle bucklin he's a dart mouth eye a puckerin
Layin every claim from Santiago to Madrid
Look out for his aim he shoots directly from the Id
Yer stoned Italian cowboy ate yer English up for lunch
Howlin at the moon his silver saddle on yer hunch
His chewin gum stuck in yer hair your sequin gown worn everywhere
Baby don't believe the things you read into his eyes
Darker than the sea there lies the depth of your demise
When you were my girl we were in love everyday
We were in love - You were my girl in every way, in every way
When you were my girl we were in love everyday
We were in love - You were my girl in every way, in every way
Yer stoned Italian cowboy conjures every wicked thought
Alone upon his throne it is well known he can't be caught
Your silky hair your creamy thighs a button nose your dreamy eyes
Steppin like a raindrop at your gates your Gunga Din
Wrappin at your window cause he knows you'll let him in
Buggerin the beauties promenading past the park
His ostrich buckle bucklin he's a dart mouth eye a puckerin
Layin every claim from Santiago to Madrid
Look out for his aim he shoots directly from the Id
Yer stoned Italian cowboy ate yer English up for lunch
Howlin at the moon his silver saddle on yer hunch
His chewin gum stuck in yer hair your sequin gown worn everywhere
Baby don't believe the things you read into his eyes
Darker than the sea there lies the depth of your demise
When you were my girl we were in love everyday
We were in love - You were my girl in every way, in every way
When you were my girl we were in love everyday
We were in love - You were my girl in every way, in every way
Yer stoned Italian cowboy conjures every wicked thought
Alone upon his throne it is well known he can't be caught
Your silky hair your creamy thighs a button nose your dreamy eyes
Steppin like a raindrop at your gates your Gunga Din
Wrappin at your window cause he knows you'll let him in

Gentle Hour

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/
