Anything we should know about your change? -- How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Turn it up Ringmaster your final lullaby
Let's see how your genius is fully realised
The Emperors standing naked, how much longer, can he fake it
All night, repeat it ten times we've, we've got it
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
Darling of every muse or, fair weather friend
Prance around amphitheaters in your swelled head
Smoke clears and mirrors shatter, a bargain Broadway, mock Mad Hatter
Pack it in, please pack it in now, i've got this
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you bring to us
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Turn it up Ringmaster your final lullaby
Let's see how your genius is fully realised
The Emperors standing naked, how much longer, can he fake it
All night, repeat it ten times we've, we've got it
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
Darling of every muse or, fair weather friend
Prance around amphitheaters in your swelled head
Smoke clears and mirrors shatter, a bargain Broadway, mock Mad Hatter
Pack it in, please pack it in now, i've got this
I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be blindsided
I know what is expected here
You're the one detached from daily existence
And i don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick
Micro-manage take the sky from touch the people feed the ego(?)
But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How long before they all wisen up
Would it kill you to lose attention
How many of them can you string along
How many of them can you bring to us
Would it kill you to lose attention

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Gentle Hour

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
First post for this amazing track! Stoked! Only been listening to this new album for a day but this track easily stands out as my favourite so far, just awesome! Will try to get some lyrics up soon..
Depending on your interpretation of the lyrics and the movie "The Master" I think a reworked version of this song would have been appropriate for the soundtrack.
Sounds great live too.
