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.
Your love is the kind that I dream of,
That i would never possess.
But even still these lips,
Are longing to be crushed beneath your kiss.
Forgive me now,
For these visions of you,
Lurking in my sleep,
They are waiting in the dark for the time to come,
These secrets I will not keep
Its on the tip of my tongue,
But I don't make a sound
Oh yeah,
Love is somewhere in here,
Will it ever be found?
Over joy.
You could be the love that I longed for,
You could be the one,
You could be the one that I long for.
But these visions of you,
They keep me up all night.
If I could sleep,
I would surrender.
To the touch of your skin,
That's one more thing,
To remind me of your burning splendour.
But I know,
That only once is enough.
And I will,
I will always remember.
Well let's go,
Yeah we can take all night,
And we will rise and we will conquer.
I see you standing alone,
There's a light in the sky.
Oh yeah.
Can't make up your mind,
Won't you tell me why?
Over joy.
You could be the love that I longed for,
You could be the one,
You could be the one,
The one that one that I longed for
Oh, I think of you night and day,
Oh yeah, I tried to escape,
All that does is standing in my way,
Come on take it away.
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to move?
Are you ready to surrender?
I've got a feeling you know,
This passion will grow,
Into a love we will always remember.
You know the next big thing,
Is the song that I sing.
I can't keep it in any longer.
Well let love break in,
Let the dream begin.
Don't you know my heart is growing stronger?
I wish you'd make up your mind,
I've never been this low.
Oh yeah.
Name the time and the place,
And i'll remember to show.
Over joy.
You could be the love that I longed for,
You could be the one,
You could be the one that I long for.
However you are,
Wherever you go,
Just leave your light on,
And that's how i'll know.
Over joy.
Love.
You could be the love,
The love that I longed for.
Love (x2)
That i would never possess.
But even still these lips,
Are longing to be crushed beneath your kiss.
Forgive me now,
For these visions of you,

These secrets I will not keep

Oh yeah,

Will it ever be found?
Over joy.

The love that I longed for.

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.
