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.
[Chorus]
She's two girls - two girls in one
She's the woman that she wants to be and the woman she's become
Don't even bother trying to figure it out -- go figure --
Two girls - two girls in one
Well, she's never been hungry, she's never been poor
But when you tell her what it's like she seems to know a little more
Yelling through the bathroom door 'bout how to liberate the masses
While she's putting on her lipstick and curling her false eyelashes
[Chorus]
She'll won't wear a ring on her finger, no man can tie her down
But she wears one in her nose so he can pull her around
Sensitive and vulnerable, that's the kind she likes best
But he's got to have muscles, and a lot of hair on his chest
[Chorus]
She provokes your lust just so she can refuse it
Sex is a weapon but only she's allowed to use it
She uses her whims to tell her what's wrong and right
And her ignorance to paint the world black and white
[Chorus]
She's two girls - two girls in one
She's the woman that she wants to be and the woman she's become
Don't even bother trying to figure it out -- go figure --
Two girls - two girls in one
Well, she's never been hungry, she's never been poor
But when you tell her what it's like she seems to know a little more
Yelling through the bathroom door 'bout how to liberate the masses
While she's putting on her lipstick and curling her false eyelashes
[Chorus]
She'll won't wear a ring on her finger, no man can tie her down
But she wears one in her nose so he can pull her around
Sensitive and vulnerable, that's the kind she likes best
But he's got to have muscles, and a lot of hair on his chest
[Chorus]
She provokes your lust just so she can refuse it
Sex is a weapon but only she's allowed to use it
She uses her whims to tell her what's wrong and right
And her ignorance to paint the world black and white
[Chorus]

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 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.
