This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Mis manos y estas calles son láminas de hielo.
Te busco perdido por San Telmo,
colgado de los cables que unen los tejados.
La lluvia cae como una vieja canción de los Stones,
como el ángel que empujaron de un avión.
Y siempre es jueves en la Plaza de Mayo.
Te busco tras el vaho de un cristal del colectivo
y, en la cena, los malvados de mis amigos
me preguntan una y otra vez por ti.
Y caen los rostros en los charcos de Corrientes,
bajo hojas secas guarda sus sueños la gente.
Y en la tormenta, senadores que escapan,
cristales rotos frente a la Casa Rosada.
Los autos pasan lentos como una manada de elefantes,
en lo oscuro una mujer me ofrece mate
y Charlie salta por mí desde un rascacielos.
Hoy Boca gana y una joven que me recuerda a ti
hace las maletas. El FMI te desnuda en el peor invierno.
Hoy te he dejado grabada esta ciudad en el contestador.
De fondo se oye, cada día canta mejor,
siglo veinte, cambalache, problemático y febril.
Y tarareas una canción de los Redondos.
Hoy iré al río, te buscaré en el fondo.
Mafalda juega a la guerra nuclear.
Iré a San Telmo, hoy te tengo que encontrar.
Te busco perdido por San Telmo,
colgado de los cables que unen los tejados.
La lluvia cae como una vieja canción de los Stones,
como el ángel que empujaron de un avión.
Y siempre es jueves en la Plaza de Mayo.
Te busco tras el vaho de un cristal del colectivo
y, en la cena, los malvados de mis amigos
me preguntan una y otra vez por ti.
Y caen los rostros en los charcos de Corrientes,
bajo hojas secas guarda sus sueños la gente.
Y en la tormenta, senadores que escapan,
cristales rotos frente a la Casa Rosada.
Los autos pasan lentos como una manada de elefantes,
en lo oscuro una mujer me ofrece mate
y Charlie salta por mí desde un rascacielos.
Hoy Boca gana y una joven que me recuerda a ti
hace las maletas. El FMI te desnuda en el peor invierno.
Hoy te he dejado grabada esta ciudad en el contestador.
De fondo se oye, cada día canta mejor,
siglo veinte, cambalache, problemático y febril.
Y tarareas una canción de los Redondos.
Hoy iré al río, te buscaré en el fondo.
Mafalda juega a la guerra nuclear.
Iré a San Telmo, hoy te tengo que encontrar.

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.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
