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,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Love me slowly, lock me away
I'll dis pain, as it drains me away
I'm not the same person all, uh
She wanna work it out, (out)
I go ahead and I run, run
You know that I am done, done
Leaving your ass on the floor, and
I know that I'm crying, but
Tonight I know that I will be free
And I will be flying high
You know I'm not gon' die
But with me in your soul
I'm always gonna fly
Love me slowly, lock me away
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel my pain
Screaming out my lungs
Will it go away
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel it
Feel my pain
Do you feel it
Feel my pain
Do you feel it
And I'll wash
All this pain
As it drains me away
What do you know about this shit
You ain't really bout it
I'm screaming my lungs out
Because my bro was shot
Without a strap on his side
You know that he ain't have his nine
He was screaming to the Lord
When was he gonna die
As he watches blood shed
As he watches blood spread
Wondering if this neighborhood
Really wondrous
Wondrous, I wonder this
Do you really love a kid
Do you really love him
He was seventeen, old
And you just played it heart
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
And you just played it hard
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
And you just played it hard
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Love me slowly, lock me away
I'll dis pain, as it drains me away
I'm not the same person all, uh
She wanna work it out, (out)
I go ahead and I run, run
You know that I am done, done
Leaving your ass on the floor, and
I know that I'm crying, but
Tonight I know that I will be free
And I will be flying high
You know I'm not gon' die
But with me in your soul
I'm always gonna fly
Love me slowly, lock me away
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel my pain
Screaming out my lungs
Will it go away
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel it
Feel my pain
Do you feel it
Feel my pain
Do you feel it
And I'll wash
All this pain
As it drains me away
What do you know about this shit
You ain't really bout it
I'm screaming my lungs out
Because my bro was shot
Without a strap on his side
You know that he ain't have his nine
He was screaming to the Lord
When was he gonna die
As he watches blood shed
As he watches blood spread
Wondering if this neighborhood
Really wondrous
Wondrous, I wonder this
Do you really love a kid
Do you really love him
He was seventeen, old
And you just played it heart
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
And you just played it hard
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
And you just played it hard
Like it was nothing
I caught this bitch licking
And she wanna come and suck it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
