This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh, that I
Could bend my tongue outwards
Leave your lungs hurting
Tucking my shirt in
Pants I wear so well
Cross your t's, shirt smells
Worse than your lying
Caught my dad crying
Loose like the wind
From the rough we get par
Sleet city woman
Waiting to spar
I'm drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Getting off, on the candelabra
We call her Barbara
Breeding like larva
She rabble-rousing
Dental surf combat
Get out those hardhats
And sing and us some skat
Blade lovers gush
Chained and perfumed
I don't need a minister
To call me a groom
But I'm rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Argh
Oh
Ah
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush) makes you want to say your prayers
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
Could bend my tongue outwards
Leave your lungs hurting
Tucking my shirt in
Pants I wear so well
Cross your t's, shirt smells
Worse than your lying
Caught my dad crying
Loose like the wind
From the rough we get par
Sleet city woman
Waiting to spar
I'm drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Drowning for your thirst
Getting off, on the candelabra
We call her Barbara
Breeding like larva
She rabble-rousing
Dental surf combat
Get out those hardhats
And sing and us some skat
Blade lovers gush
Chained and perfumed
I don't need a minister
To call me a groom
But I'm rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Rattled by the rush
Argh
Oh
Ah
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
No soap in the john
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush) makes you want to say your prayers
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
(Rattled by the rush)
Makes you want to say you're down

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
actually, you know in the perfect sound forever book (or melody maker if you happened to read that issue) he says (in his aloof, oblique, sarcastic sort of way) that it's about marriage? i'm inclined to agree. the whole minister part is obvious, and then at the beginning i think he's talking about getting ready for the ceremony, tucking in his shirt and seeing his dad cry. More specifically, i think it's about being rushed into a marriage and then realising on the wedding day that you're making a huge mistake.
i think the gushers, chained and perfumed are the bridesmades. As for the rest, well, SM's pretty impressonistic. some of it probably only makes sense to him.
it's worth mentioning that to this day he still isnt married.
I totally agree with your interp, but he is in fact married and did so in 2004!
