I read in an interview with Kapranos that this song and No You Girls are two different versions of the same event. Supposedly it's about kissing someone for the first time (fairly obvious from the lyrics). In this version, it's told from the perspective of how it "actually happened"--being nervous, and sort of emotionally fragile. Then No You Girls is supposed to be how you might tell the same story to your mates later, sort of exaggerating things and making yourself out to be the hero of the story, and not scared or nervous at all.
I love this song--it's weird, whenever I listen to Tonight: FF on shuffle, my ipod puts these two songs back to back like 90% of the time.
