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.
Un fulano me gritaba
"Si fuera helado me la chupaba"
Otro dijo "yo soy perro
To's tus huesos voy y entierro"
El muy bestia no respeta
Yo me volteé y le di en la jeta
Y es que soy cosita seria
Y es que soy cosita seria
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el "qué dirán"
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el "qué dirán"
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita
En el periódico salió
Que a man esto le sucedió
Por echar piropos sucios
Le cortaron el capullo
Y aunque un poco exagerado
Yo pienso se lo había buscado
Y es que soy cosita seria
Y es que soy cosita seria
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el que dirán
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el que dirán
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita
Y cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita
"Si fuera helado me la chupaba"
Otro dijo "yo soy perro
To's tus huesos voy y entierro"
El muy bestia no respeta
Yo me volteé y le di en la jeta
Y es que soy cosita seria
Y es que soy cosita seria
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el "qué dirán"
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el "qué dirán"
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita
En el periódico salió
Que a man esto le sucedió
Por echar piropos sucios
Le cortaron el capullo
Y aunque un poco exagerado
Yo pienso se lo había buscado
Y es que soy cosita seria
Y es que soy cosita seria
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el que dirán
No tengo pelos en la lengua
Ya supere el que dirán
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita
Y cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita (seria)
Cosita, cosita, cosita

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,

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.
