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.
Got too drunk at the Christmas party
Puked on my dress, shit! I guess I better leave
On the way home, I took a detour
I wanna see you
I wish I never saw
Get the key from under the mat
Trying to find the light, I stumble around
I swear I heard a noise, what's that sound?
Well, that's my best friend and you're going down
[Chorus]
It's Christmas once again
But you are fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
Yeah, it's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
I hate her
I hate her
I hate you
This Christmas
Everyone's excited about going home
But I am embarrassed to tell my mom
All the Christmas lights and the mistletoe are only making me feel more alone
All the skater kids are stoned on the hill, even the goths are filled with good willI
I head to the bar to see old faces
We're in old streets but new places
[Chorus]
It's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
Yeah, it's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
I hate her
I hate her
I hate you
This christmas
Well, I guess there's other girls you fucked
Well, I guess that means you really suck
Well, I hope you feel alone this Christmas
You can say goodbye to this cause
You know I am never coming back
[Chorus]
It's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
Yeah, it's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
I hate her
I hate her
I hate you
This Christmas
Puked on my dress, shit! I guess I better leave
On the way home, I took a detour
I wanna see you
I wish I never saw
Get the key from under the mat
Trying to find the light, I stumble around

Well, that's my best friend and you're going down
[Chorus]
It's Christmas once again
But you are fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
Yeah, it's Christmas once again but you're fucking one of my friends
Well, I hope her candy cunt tastes better than
My undying love that won't weather
I hate her
I hate her
I hate you

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 tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
