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.
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
'Cause I was in her neighborhood
Feeling just like Robin Hood
With only our love to protect us
Hoping they won't detect us
Through the castle's open air
Sliding down the spiral stairs
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
I slipped into her room and said
"Come with me the king is dead"
In the name of lustful just rewards
As knights shall fall upon their swords
And grant this poor boy's wish tonight
To make the queen a noble wife
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
When I come breaking down her door
She's the one I'm looking for
Black and white
First you're here then it's cool
It's wrong, all right, all right
I'll do whatever I must do
Scale the walls to be with you
And word will spread throughout the land
He stole the queen of Neverland
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
And every boy to become a man
To steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland
To steal the queen of Neverland
'Cause I was in her neighborhood
Feeling just like Robin Hood
With only our love to protect us
Hoping they won't detect us
Through the castle's open air
Sliding down the spiral stairs
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
I slipped into her room and said
"Come with me the king is dead"
In the name of lustful just rewards
As knights shall fall upon their swords
And grant this poor boy's wish tonight
To make the queen a noble wife
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
When I come breaking down her door
She's the one I'm looking for
Black and white
First you're here then it's cool
It's wrong, all right, all right
I'll do whatever I must do
Scale the walls to be with you
And word will spread throughout the land
He stole the queen of Neverland
I do believe I have a plan
To steal the queen of Neverland
And every boy to become a man
To steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland
Steal the queen of Neverland

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,
