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.
Lil' Jewish princess, never recognized
Replaced the star of David for the ones in your eyes
So you popped a Vicodin and ran away from everyone
And everything you thought you knew
Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes
Who never have a job but they got the attitude
And the clothes, and the shoes and a disease or two
And every head turns on cue
When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She shows on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine
Telephone screamin' on the bathroom floor
Momma tryin' to call ya since July forth
Erase the message along with the life
Of everything ya knew before
Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls
Lime green carpet with your meth lab stall
Mattress full of money and five locks on the door
As she falls to the floor
From trying to fly
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine
East coast transplant now in California
Can ya feel the side effects of finally leaving Georgia?
Nothin' you can do about it, daddy tried to warn ya
Allowance cut off, blue jean cut offs
Feeling like a, cut out paper whore
When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung up so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star
San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star
Replaced the star of David for the ones in your eyes
So you popped a Vicodin and ran away from everyone
And everything you thought you knew
Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes
Who never have a job but they got the attitude
And the clothes, and the shoes and a disease or two
And every head turns on cue
When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She shows on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine
Telephone screamin' on the bathroom floor
Momma tryin' to call ya since July forth
Erase the message along with the life
Of everything ya knew before
Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls
Lime green carpet with your meth lab stall
Mattress full of money and five locks on the door
As she falls to the floor
From trying to fly
Like a ballerina babe strung so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star and she's fine
East coast transplant now in California
Can ya feel the side effects of finally leaving Georgia?
Nothin' you can do about it, daddy tried to warn ya
Allowance cut off, blue jean cut offs
Feeling like a, cut out paper whore
When she flies
Like a ballerina babe strung up so high
Everybody have you seen her?
But the side that no one knows
She screams on video
She's a San Fernando sexx star
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star
San Fernando sexx star, San Fernando sexx star

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.
