This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Thirteen wanted to be the one, years and years and I am still trapped here in you.
The test of time has proven true had no idea how right I was, thirteen you said to me,
You said that I am ‘your addiction’ I said, ‘I’d love to be your addiction from here out’
So come and see the gift that I have for you, come and see yourself the way I do
And you will see perfectly, just what you mean to me and there will be no way that you’ll turn away
You’ll see the closest thing to perfection
The closest thing to perfection is you.
All things have changed except my mind and even more my heart is the same; unsane
You have got to let me show to you, my friend I have such a perfect view
You must know by now that I won’t give up with out a struggle, you must know by now that I won’t give up after that
So come and see the gift that I have for you come and see yourself the way I do
And you will see perfectly, just what you mean to me and there will be no way that you’ll turn away
You’ll see the closest thing to perfection The closest thing to perfection is you
The greatest gift that I could give you, the greatest gift.
The greatest gift that I could give you, is my eyes.
The test of time has proven true had no idea how right I was, thirteen you said to me,
You said that I am ‘your addiction’ I said, ‘I’d love to be your addiction from here out’
So come and see the gift that I have for you, come and see yourself the way I do
And you will see perfectly, just what you mean to me and there will be no way that you’ll turn away
You’ll see the closest thing to perfection
The closest thing to perfection is you.
All things have changed except my mind and even more my heart is the same; unsane
You have got to let me show to you, my friend I have such a perfect view
You must know by now that I won’t give up with out a struggle, you must know by now that I won’t give up after that
So come and see the gift that I have for you come and see yourself the way I do
And you will see perfectly, just what you mean to me and there will be no way that you’ll turn away
You’ll see the closest thing to perfection The closest thing to perfection is you
The greatest gift that I could give you, the greatest gift.
The greatest gift that I could give you, is my eyes.

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.
