This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All the unpaid bills
Wrestling interest rates
While past due dates wait with their boutonnieres
And the slumping bike
Strangled with a lock that we forgot the combination to
The old house drinks everything we hide
And hums sad songs that keep us up all night
With the doorknobs loose and the pipes that burst
With the fuses blown and the taps reversed
The calendar requests a meeting to discuss the time we waste
When would be good for you?
And the sidewalk cracks spell the way back home
In one uninterrupted palindrome
The old house keeps all of our receipts
In envelopes secured with rubber bands
Oh, the blinking snow and the dark dispersed
With a smeary moon
With our taps reversed
Wrestling interest rates
While past due dates wait with their boutonnieres
And the slumping bike
Strangled with a lock that we forgot the combination to
The old house drinks everything we hide
And hums sad songs that keep us up all night
With the doorknobs loose and the pipes that burst
With the fuses blown and the taps reversed
The calendar requests a meeting to discuss the time we waste
When would be good for you?
And the sidewalk cracks spell the way back home
In one uninterrupted palindrome
The old house keeps all of our receipts
In envelopes secured with rubber bands
Oh, the blinking snow and the dark dispersed
With a smeary moon
With our taps reversed

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,
