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.
Oopsy daisy, I hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out, baby, I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
Ch'yeah, and again (Yup) and again (Yup)
Oops, here we go again (Uh oh)
We messed up once, I messed up twice
But many times are we gonna try again? (I dunno)
Girl, it's like 'round and 'round we go
Hustle, I'd prefer if you left me alone (Trust)
'Cause I can't take the pain
And my heartbeat feels like an 808
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you, that's why you got to go, hun
Destruction like fire, all around you
That's why I got to go, oh oh oh
See the fussin' and fightin', let's not ('llow it)
Before I see red, let's stop (Trust)
If this here's really the end of
I'ma find cupid and put him in a headlock (No lie)
Now why did you pick on me? (Why?)
Why let the pretty bird shit on me?
I don't need good luck but I need good love
That's a girl that'll stand by me
And look honey I didn't diss you
Therefore I shouldn't have to miss you
And now I feel like The Saturdays all week
'Ca me and my heart got Crazy Issues
Girl it's like round and round we go
(Hustle) I'll prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain
And my heartbeat feels like an 808
Oopsy daisy, I hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out, baby, I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you, that's why you got to go, hun
Destruction like fire, all around you
That's why you got to go, oh oh oh
Yeah, they say three times a lady
I say three times you're crazy
So done with the messin' around
Baseball love, three strikes you're out
You're too busy tryna' catch me out
But I just wanna get home, run
'Ca touring, after a while gets boring
I need to come back to your touch
Look it's all too much, I guess now we gotta let go
You see me grow from a boy to a man
So this must really be the end of the road
And girl its like round and round we go
(Hustle) I'll prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain
And my heartbeat feels like an 808
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you, that's why you got to go, hun
Destruction like fire, all around you
That's why you got to go, oh oh oh
Oopsy daisy, I hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out, baby, I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out, baby, I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
