In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Goodbye, goodbye, leggy blonde
Everyday I look across the office floor
There you were, your hair down to your legs
And your legs down to the floor
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Now that you are gone
I'll never see you here for tech repair
Wish you knew how much I loved
Your legs and your hair
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
I had a budgie but it died
Woah-oh, I like pie
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Whoa, blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde
I'll never get, I'll never get to be with you
I'll never get to share another cup of tea with you
I'll never get to let you know how much I think of you
I'll never get to tear your clothes off on the photo copier
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get to say
Oh leggy blonde, you got it going on
Wanna see you wearing that thong, thong, thong
See you get it on till the break of dawn
[Incomprehensible] panties on
Goodbye
Everyday I look across the office floor
There you were, your hair down to your legs
And your legs down to the floor
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Now that you are gone
I'll never see you here for tech repair
Wish you knew how much I loved
Your legs and your hair
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
I had a budgie but it died
Woah-oh, I like pie
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Whoa, blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde
I'll never get, I'll never get to be with you
I'll never get to share another cup of tea with you
I'll never get to let you know how much I think of you
I'll never get to tear your clothes off on the photo copier
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get to say
Oh leggy blonde, you got it going on
Wanna see you wearing that thong, thong, thong
See you get it on till the break of dawn
[Incomprehensible] panties on
Goodbye

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,
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
