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.
Hi
Hello Miss Sweeney
Could you please come in
My office for a second?
I'm headin' home for the day
And I thought it'd be good
For you and me to check in
I met with a gal from expo
And they do have the "slab" cabinets in white
She thinks we can take measurements down at the site
If we do that we'll be just fine, Miss Sweeney
That's all I got to say to you at this time, Miss Sweeney
Actually, there's one other thing on my mind-
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting
Until you love me
Sweeney
I'm so sorry Miss Sweeney
I don't know where that came from
I think I was overcome
By a spontaneous emotion
Anyway, the cash deposit
Of five thousand dollars
Will need to be sent
To the property owner tomorrow
If there are any problems
With the deposit or contract
Don't be afraid to holler
I don't wanna have to approve
Each stinkin' dollar
That we borrow
Ah- forget it!
Miss Sweeney
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting
Until you love me
Miss Sweeney, I got to admit the truth
I am totally head-over-heels in love with you
Every day you come to the office lookin' fine
Navy business the suit clingin' tightly to your spine
You ask me if I'm ready to get down to work
Sweeney, baby, I'm ready
Be my
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting
Until you love me- Girl!
You light the skies of my life
I swear, I will make you my wife
I'm waiting
Until you love me
Miss Sweeney
Miss Sweeney...

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is the BEST Weezer (post-pinkerton) written. This, along with Angel and the One, are just as brilliant and epic as the best tracks from Pinkerton.
Great job Rivers, you finally got it back.
Anyway, this song. Is really fucking awesome. Speculation is that this is about Rivers' old assistant, who was aptly named Sheeny.
I absolutely love this song. Brings back memories of listening to pinkerton b-sides.
Aw, this is sweet.
such a good song.
This song has a Suzanne-esque sound to it.. which i love.. maybe her name was Suzanne Sweeney? am i on to somthing here lol... anyway.. i love the Pinkerton style weezer songs... their my fav.. I never got into Maladroit.. but i loved make belive.. dunno.. Weezer is one of my faves of all time tho..
guy digochi, I think you might be on to something there. Suzanne is actually the first song that comes to mind when I hear this song. This is a new classic for Weezer. Very funny, but its got that Pinkerton emotion.
Can anyone tell what's being said in the Nextel conversations in the background?
Nextel Convo - they are taking measurements down at the site.
Hey ousan i think i was on to somthing... this is what i just read in the Suzanne songmeanings page..
quoted from the booklet in the new Blue Album Deluxe Edition by Weezer : "suzane was a talented A&R assistnat at Geffen. in the long months of limbo between completeing the blue album in october '93 and its eventual release in may '94 she became a big weezer supporter, doing her best to keep the guys optimistic about their future with geffen. as the lyrics impy, suzanne did in fact help rivers out with her spare winter coat when he needed one, and made plates of brownies to c heer him up. her dovotion and aid were perfectly summed up in thei song. before she knew of the songs' existence the guys perfeormed it a cappella for her in her GEffen office. heedless to say it surprised the hell out of her!..
Hmm... Suzanne was an assistant at A&R which would kinda explain the Secretary/assistant figure miss sweeney.. hmm.. that would be so cool if i was right lol..
Easily my favorite Weezer song off the Red Album and it's not really even on there, just the deluxe edition.
After reading the lyrics, I think it's about two people in construction - Miss Sweeney and her boss who is in love with her and happens to be the person singing this song.
it's a shame this is only available on the deluxe addition. it's easily the best WEEZER song (non demo) in years. suzanne came to mind for me, too.
satansbride, nah I don't really think so, this is more at a office and Sweeney is his secretary but he is really in love with her and not that he is a demon barberer who's in love with a baker. It's great how they can put in on stage too, as a musical song almost, watch the aucustic on Youtube and you'll see, great song
