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,
I smacked your face,
You fell in love when I said "FUCK YOUR MOM!"
I looked at you, said "It's all over!"
I turned around and walked away
And you just grabbed my arm
I looked at you, said "I can't stay sober"
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals.
MADNESS! feeling scared,
Looking around and nobody there,
When I say, "Fuck the world,
Let's get ready to rock!"
As I piss on your face while you suck on my cock.
MADNESS! No one cares,
Looking around and nobody there,
When I say, "Fuck the world,
Let's get ready to rock!"
As I piss on your face while you suck on my cock.
Oh maybe, baby,
Won't you rape me, wont you fantasize
About the time when we were lovers
I tried to phone you,
Tried to warn you but no compromise
I grabbed your ass under the cover
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
MADNESS! feeling scared,
Looking around and nobody there,
When I say, "Fuck the world,
Let's get ready to rock!"
As I piss on your face while you suck on my cock.
MADNESS! No one cares,
Looking around and nobody there,
When I say, "Fuck the world,
Let's get ready to rock!"
As I piss on your face while you suck on my cock.
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
Come eat some chemicals with me,
Come eat some chemicals
MADNESS! feeling scared,
Looking around and nobody there,
When I say, "Fuck the world,
Let's get ready to rock!"
As I piss on your face while you suck on my cock.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
"MADNESS! No one cares, looking around and nobody there, when I say, "Fuck the world, let's get ready to rock!" as i piss on your face while you suck on my cock."
That's referring to his feeling that he's alone, even though there's someone so close and so loyal to him that he overlooks them. Party 2 is allowing themselves to be degraded just to keep him happy, and he ignores them.
