This is the tablature of the first guitar only. The second guitar
is so much noisy that is very very hard to figure it out...

| I agree that it's about being in love/infatuated with someone you do not know. It's a theme most of us can relate to and it's also an awesome Sonic Youth song. The best SY song with a Lee Ranaldo vocal in my humble opinion. | |

| I love this song. It sounds so hearfelt to me..probably my favourite Sonic Youth song. I like "IHaveAnOpinion"'s interpretation of the lyrics. | |

| to me personally, this song is about someone who is infatuated with another person, and the other person is just too "big" to settle down with anyone. They have to be on the go, hence the third and fourth lines where they are running to make a call to be with someone new. Their vibrance makes them infinitely attractive, but after a while they start to lose their appeal when you see their might not be something past the glitz and beauty, as evident in the fourth stanza. But, regardless, there is something special about this person, and it leaves you broken, frustrated and confused, wishing you could be a part of their life. | |

| First post ever! I actually have always thought this song was about a prostitute...the "shaking in the light, want them to choose you" section sold me on that. These other comments are probably right on but I'll always think of it as a man observing a prostitute... | |

| I think the "pretty pictures every night" means dreaming about the person. | |
