This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I don't really know what I should do
like, should I be passing this bread along to you?
And I don't really know what the wine was for
cos if it was Jesus' blood, wouldn't there be more?
I'm knocking on Kevin's front door
I'm singing religious songs
and getting the words wrong
my hair's getting too long
for this congregation
religious songs
I'm getting the words wrong
my hair's getting too long
and they're saying
"How does he really expect to be happy
when he listens to death metal bands?"
la la la la la
If there's manna from heaven
then you're disinclined to share
you stole my heart
and I stole your underwear
you said religion is bullshit
it's all about metaphor
well if I need a fence to sit on
then I'll sit on yours, sit on yours
dreaming of Babylon's whores
I'm singing religious songs
and getting the words wrong
my hair's getting too long
for this congregation

la la la la la
I knew you so long I ran out of cool things to say
I still bump into friends that we both had yesterday
when they ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine
they still manage to tell me I'm an easy lay holiday
well that's okay, remember you thought I was gay?
Well, I beat myself off when I sleep on your futon
I walk in the rain with my secondhand suit on
beat myself off when I sleep on your futon
I walk in the rain, and I'm thinking
if I happen to die tonight in my sleep
I'll have cum and not blood on my hand
la la la la la

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”

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The last line is "I'll have cum and not blood on my hands" on both the LP and EP versions.
