The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Nobody move nobody gets hurt
Well worth the fact in a brain
Track of a train now where will he walk?
Tell me now now where will he walk?
Water the garden it will grow slow
Touch my body all soft like dough
But I love him too much for a cold fuck
He goes I stay DJ turn it up.
Harder
Louder
Harder
Louder
DJ Pull Me Up
DJ Pull Me Clear
Feed Me The Beat
I Need The Release
King and queen paper hat royalty
Kids do dream, asking for loyalty
I toiled see I don't give it up easily
Thighs see are just like a heart
If you get big he might leave you
This and that is making it harder
Hungry boy I can't feed you
If I get big I'll drop a ?
Don't believe the media
Sex and the city it will bleed you
Lead you but no leader no career
Oh my love feel the fear
Looking back over the shoulder
This and that is making it harder
Turn me into meat like burger
Turn him into meat like burger.
DJ Pull Me Up
DJ Pull Me Clear
Feed Me The Beat
I Need The Release
Eat and eat in the garden there is more
Eat and eat in the kitchen there is more
Keep the wound sore we are worn
We eat no more he says
I'll give you pleasure give you golden treasure
What you can't ever measure then we can sever
If you stay a while with me
Stay just a while with me
For my lover I'd stay forever
He said no, stay just a while.
DJ pull me up
DJ pull me clear
Feed me the beat
I need the release.

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,

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.
