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.
tick tack
when I stare down
the hands of the clock
ring ring
in the next room
the telephone rings out
ding dong
a bell rings
around my heart
woo wee
just as I thought
it's your call
miu miu
I pout my lips
in a mewling voice
"I'm not satisfied
with only a call
spoil me some more"
ping pong
the door chimes ring
"special delivery"
knock knock
what could it be?
oh it's a bunch of roses
woo wee
I'm happy
it's from you as i thought
my heart goes WOW!
trumpets blare POW!
the pizzicato strings go DOO DOO DOO
when I think of you
my head is filled with
fantastic melodies
I hear the sound of music
kiss kiss
whenever we kiss
in my heart
smick smack
an angel whispers
in a funny voice
my love love lovely
boyfriend
my love love lovely
boyfriend
I'm like a spoilt child
I treat you mean
I punch you POW!
to the belly button POW!
to your butt POW
then you fart POOH!
you're like Winnie the Pooh
boyfriend
when I think of you
my head is filled with
various melodies, oh it's so noisy
stop the sound of music
music

by sound
this
is the sound
of music
anata no koto kangaeru to
suteki na melody ga
atama no naka afureru

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.
