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.
Oh those girls just wanted to play.
All in one body, they drive me insane.
Never encountered a love so cold.
Over and over and over they go.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
They fight to control the thought of one brain.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the game
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
I've never felt a feeling like that.
The sex is so dirty, I like it like that.
Three at one time, one's on the floor.
The two that are lovers they always want more.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the same.
Lying there bleeding, calling my name
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
The things we've done --- Six times the fun.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
They fight to control the thought of one brain.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the game
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
Six sick little sisters all in one brain.
Oh it ain't so bad!
All in one body, they drive me insane.
Never encountered a love so cold.
Over and over and over they go.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
They fight to control the thought of one brain.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the game
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
I've never felt a feeling like that.
The sex is so dirty, I like it like that.
Three at one time, one's on the floor.
The two that are lovers they always want more.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the same.
Lying there bleeding, calling my name
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
The things we've done --- Six times the fun.
I couldn't take her screaming like that.
Six tortured souls in one body trapped.
They fight to control the thought of one brain.
Blood-thirsty kin one in the game
Six stepsisters play the game.
Two in the night, two by day.
One says she loves me, one wants to kill me.
Six sick little sisters all in one brain.
Oh it ain't so bad!

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
