Let me tell ya all about the other night
When we were hanging out at the sumo fight
I was told these guys were warrior fighters
The home come they're still wear diapers
How many doughnuts do ya get through in a day
Just to keep ya looking that way
You're riding the road to self destruction
Hey mister! You need liposuction!

Teriaki makes me happy
Give it up for Celeste and Daphne!
Teriaki makes me happy
Well that's what he said his name was

I love your sushi
Daphne and Celeste - East meets west (ergh)
I love your sushi
We' come to hang in ole' Japan!
I thought I'd let ua know that it was hard to go
Away from home alone right here in Tokyo
But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
And I think it's time we made our Japanese debut
It's customary here to take the shoes off you feet (poo ee)
And ya cross your legs on the floor when ya eat
This is no wisecrack but when ya hit the sack
These futons are like a rock
And they're breaking my back

I love your sushi
Daphne and Celeste - East meets west (ergh)
I love your sushi
We' come to hang in ole' Japan!
You love sci-fi - bonsai - stir fry
I love Lucy on my T.V!
You love eastwood cowboy movies
Howdy doody I love sushi
You love rockin' - rollin' - bowlin'
I love Lucy on my T.V.
You love noodles - yankie doodles
Howdy doody I love sushi
I love your sushi
Got me a koto in Kumumoto
Traded it for an Elvis photo
I love your sushi
Kareoked almost every night
I knocked 'em dead with the voice (yea right)

I love your sushi
Daphne and Celeste - East meets west (ergh)
I love your sushi
We're telling you Japan is cool!

    I think rather than just being about sushi, it's a well-intended pisstake of Japan. I just wish I knew what the Japanese meant, though - I can only make out the odd word :(

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
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
