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.
Excuse Me?
Where do you think you're going in that?
You're going to march right up stairs,
that's what you're gonna do.
March it.
Is that tattoo?
Tattoos are from the devel.
Tattoos are from the devel.
The devel.
You're going to march right up… ch-threy…
I'm so flustered.
You're gonna march it, woman.
March, march, march.
And change your clothes.
Is that a tattoo?
Tattoos are from devel.
You dont even know chinese!
Why are you wearing that?
You're watching too much of the HBO.
Too much HBO.
Jesus Chirst on a crutch.
If you go out looking like that.
They're gonna think you're a streetwalker.
A walker in the night.
They are wanna pay you for looking like that.
It's wrong and it's unclean.
You need to change that missy.
Boys just wanna get in your tutu.
Boys just wanna get in your tutu.
I thought I told you that.
They want in your tutu.
Now you march upstairs,
and you cover up that tutu.
They are gonna think youre a transvestite.
Were gonna be on Montell Williams, for cryie.
You better cover it up, missy.
I don't want to be on Montell.
You're gonna, you're gonna be be pregnant,
and that means I'm gonna be a grandmother.
And you know what, that will be the seat of the devel.
They want in your tutu.
They want in your tutu.
The devel.
Where do you think you're going in that?
You're going to march right up stairs,
that's what you're gonna do.
March it.
Is that tattoo?

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.

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.
