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.
She motions baby come on with it, come on with it.
I'm ready for anything, baby you and me.
I'm feeling so over this, I'll let go of it.
I'm ready for anything,
Can't you see through me?
She said take me like you want me,
cause you're never gonna get me alone, again.
Take me like you want me cause you're never gonna get me alone, and I think you should follow me out, follow me out!
So lets go out tonight,
I'm gonna show you all the ways I want you.
Show me the way that you move your body,
you know I love the way you dance up on me.
So let's go out tonight,
and we can tear this town apart together.
If you wont speak then I wont wait,
we shouldn't think about it anyway.
Hold on tight, close your eyes,
just take a breath and hold it in,and it'll be alright.
What I'm trying to say, is that there is no other way,
I'm thinking you should just stay and take me...
Take me like you want me,
cause you're never gonna get me alone, again.
Take me like you want me cause you're never gonna get me alone, woah woah
So lets go out tonight, I'm gonna show you all the ways I want you. Show me the way that you move your body,
you know I love the way you dance up on me.
So let's go out tonight,
and we can tear this town apart together.
If you wont speak then I wont wait,
we shouldn't think about it anyway.
And I don't mean to be rude, I just have to ask you...
This time I know I'm ready for this, I know this time I'm ready for you.
She Says "Alive, Alive is my body tonight"
Im dying to feel you inside, it's only this way for tonight.
Well this time I find you where I wanted to,
In time the consequence will find a way to dig at you.
I don't mean to be rude I just have to tell you...
So lets go out tonight, I'm gonna show you
all the ways I want you, show me
the way that you move your body,
you know I love the way you dance
And I don't mean to be rude, I just have to ask you...
This time I know I'm ready for this, I know this time I'm ready for you.
She said "I've done it again, I've done it again,
she's smiling while undoing her dress,
and loving this mess created by the loneliest kiss put on my lips
I know …
So lets go out tonight!
I'm ready for anything, baby you and me.
I'm feeling so over this, I'll let go of it.
I'm ready for anything,
Can't you see through me?
She said take me like you want me,
cause you're never gonna get me alone, again.
Take me like you want me cause you're never gonna get me alone, and I think you should follow me out, follow me out!
So lets go out tonight,
I'm gonna show you all the ways I want you.
Show me the way that you move your body,
you know I love the way you dance up on me.
So let's go out tonight,
and we can tear this town apart together.
If you wont speak then I wont wait,
we shouldn't think about it anyway.

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.

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.
can't believe no one commeted on this yet guess the site isnt very active. great song though i like dancing chicks
My bf got my to kiss him for the first time by saying the line "take me like you want me cause you're never gunna get me alone again." such an amazing song. =)
