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.
Why do you sing to everybody but me
Why do I let it go on
You've got such a music box
In my head all day long
You fell for a girl with wild eyes
Dressed in satin and lace
She's just an empty diamond mine
With a moan across her face
[Chorus]
I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh, y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
Lala lalalala, la lala la
Lala lalalala, la lala la
You are the day dream in my eyes
There whenever I wake up
But the colors never crystallized
And I never get enough
While you kiss everybody but me
I just sit back and watch
Oh but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar
And kiss you all I want
[Chorus: x2]
Lala lalalala, la lala la
Lala lalalala, la lala la
[Chorus: x2]
I can love you, I can love you
I can love you all right
I can love you much better
And you know some day I'm gonna make you mine
Why do I let it go on
You've got such a music box
In my head all day long
You fell for a girl with wild eyes
Dressed in satin and lace
She's just an empty diamond mine
With a moan across her face
[Chorus]
I can love you much better
If you can't see it you're blind
I can love you much better
Oh, y'know some day I'm gonna make you mine
Lala lalalala, la lala la
Lala lalalala, la lala la
You are the day dream in my eyes
There whenever I wake up
But the colors never crystallized
And I never get enough
While you kiss everybody but me
I just sit back and watch
Oh but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar
And kiss you all I want
[Chorus: x2]
Lala lalalala, la lala la
Lala lalalala, la lala la
[Chorus: x2]
I can love you, I can love you
I can love you all right
I can love you much better
And you know some day I'm gonna make you mine

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

The full lyrics are
Why do you sing to everybody but me? Why do I let it go on? You know that you've got a such a music box song in my head all day long
You fell for a girl with wild eyes Dressed in satin and lace She's just an empty diamond mine With a moan across her face
I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh, you know someday I'm gonna make you mine
You are the daydream in my eyes There whenever I wake up But the colors never crystalize And I never get enough
And while you kiss everybody but me, I just sit back and watch Oh, but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar Kiss you all I want!
I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh, you know someday I'm gonna make you mine (x4)
I can love you I can love you I can love you all right I can love you much better And you know someday I'm gonna make you mine
