This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
Of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite forlorn in bunny ears and devil horns and how
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I wanna see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand that you can never beat the bandit, no
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that is said is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind, yeah
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
And you can pour your heart out
For a reason it would block
Oh, you send her after nine o'clock
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that is said is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind, yeah
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
And you can pour your heart out
Around three o'clock
When the two-for-ones have done the writer's block
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
Of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite forlorn in bunny ears and devil horns and how
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I wanna see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand that you can never beat the bandit, no
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran
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.
i think i just figured out this song i just read through the comments to make sure someone else didn't already write this...my interpretation seems like a combination of what other people have said but never quite put together
"Anticipation has a habit to set you up For disappointment in evening entertainment but Tonight there'll be some love Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah regardless of what's gone before I want to see all of the things that we've already seen The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine And course it's fancy dress And they're all looking quite forlorn in bunny ears and devil horn"
so its talking about nights out always ending up with nothing significant happening, particularly between this guy and the girl he likes. but this guy is committed to changing that tonight, and is determined to hook up with this girl. he will see all the things that he usually sees when he goes out (but tonight will be different because he will get this girl)
"I want to see all of the things that we've already seen I wanna see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine And put it all back in You've got to understand that you can never beat the bandit, no"
they went out to a casino (apparently, where they usually go) the fruit machine is one of those slot machines, where you can win a jackpot and decide whether to gamble it all again. apparently this girl is really good, and nobody can ever beat her. so this verse is basically describing the night out.
"And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked When she’s pressed the star after she’s pressed unlock And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox And all that is said is that you've drank a lot"
so she won't be suprised when the guy texts her, cause he usually does. the "press the star and then unlock" references when you have to unlock your phone to check a text. "a verse and a chapter sat in her inbox" is that he sent a really long text. and all that this text means to her is that you drank too much (again).
"And you should bear that in mind tonight You can pour your heart out but reason it will block 'Owt you send her after nine o' clock"
so the guy should remember that as much as he professes his love to her in that text, logic and reasoning will dispell anything that he sends the girl after 9PM (because the girl will just assume he's too drunk by then and write it off as nonsense)
"And you can pour your heart out Around three o' clock When the two-for-ones undone the writer's block"
just reiterating that he'll only be able to admit his love for her after he's drunk too much (the two for ones suggesting a deal on the drinks).
so its not really about a couple, but about a guy trying and failing to pull a girl during a night out
