This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You
Were unaware that diamonds came with debt
Ironic sure, but that's the way it is
Got my vows off the internet
You
Say crying weakens my immune system
But don't forget that if you pray for me
I'll pray for you and cash flow too
Why not?
I said, if you pray for me I
I'll pray for you and cash flow too, why not?
It was a black wedding
You could hear the organs not
The violins or the words the pope was saying
It was a black wedding
You could hear the organs but
No drunken story or real hallelujahs
Dumb people swore they saw the devil
While most prayed they wouldn't last a winter
It was a black wedding
Throw those blessings all around
So
You're finally viewing this at five foot six
It's not all roses like your mama said
We're not spoon fed anymore
So you gonna tell
All our kids I was an accident
Ironic true
But that's the way you act when you're upset
So let's take this outside
We see our mirrors from outside
And he said we are only pride
We stay hidden all our lives
It was a black wedding
You could hear the organs not
The violins or the words the Pope was saying
It was a black wedding
You could hear the organs but
No drunken story or real hallelujahs
Dumb people swore they saw the devil
But most prayed they wouldn't last a winter
It was a black wedding
Throw those blessings all around
(What else is there to know when our bible's here?)
What else is there to know when our bible's here?
(There are no lies to find when the page is bare)
What else is there to know when your tax is shared?
Outside
We're seeing mirrors from outside
And he said we are only pride
We stay hidden all our lives
It was a black wedding
You could heard the organs play
Words the Pope was saying
It was a black wedding, you could hear the organs but
No drunken story or real hallelujahs
Gravedigger said it's his cathedral
We drank holy water like animals at supper
It was a black wedding
Throw those blessings all around
(What else is there to know when you're bibles here?)
Was a black wedding
Throw those blessings all around
(What else is there to know when you're tax is shared?)
Was a black wedding
Throw those blessings all around
Were unaware that diamonds came with debt
Ironic sure, but that's the way it is
Got my vows off the internet
You
Say crying weakens my immune system
But don't forget that if you pray for me
I'll pray for you and cash flow too
Why not?
I said, if you pray for me I
I'll pray for you and cash flow too, why not?

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.
this song is about a couple that marries out of love of money. Basically, they're greedy that's why people think that they won't last "a winter" together.
