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,
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You fuckin' little cunt
You're drivin' me insane
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You're drivin' me, drivin' me insane
Fuck me in my life...hah...
You wanted to be my wife, huh, huh, hah...
Fuck me in my brain, fuck...
I may be a...
I don't believe nothin', even if it's true, no...
Fuck me, fuck me, in my brain
Fuck me, my ears are open, in my brain
Fuck me
You think I care
'Bout those emotions you wear
You think I care
'Bout the way you wear your veil
You think our love, huh
Is so far above...oh...
Fuck me (7x)
You fuckin' little cunt
You're drivin' me insane
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You're drivin' me, drivin' me insane
Fuck me in my life...hah...
You wanted to be my wife, huh, huh, hah...
Fuck me in my brain, fuck...
I may be a...
I don't believe nothin', even if it's true, no...
Fuck me, fuck me, in my brain
Fuck me, my ears are open, in my brain
Fuck me
You think I care
'Bout those emotions you wear
You think I care
'Bout the way you wear your veil
You think our love, huh
Is so far above...oh...
Fuck me (7x)

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
They sang this because people in the crowd started throwing shoes at the band. Eddie said that they were going to donate the shoes to charity. I don't know if they ever did though.
