I think the song is pretty clear.
A sexy women with Cinderella hips and high heels is sweet talking him, making good friends with him, dancing and shaking her sexy body next to him as if she wants something, but its a sham, a fake, a tease, she doesn't want what she she alludes to want, and he knows that ultimately she is full of shit, she is TAME.
The "cookie" is cynical of the girls intentions cos they are misleading.
The "TAME" is a frustration of the way she is and her contradictory actions, calling a spade a spade.
So not only is the girl dull "talks about nothing", stupid/clumsy "falls on her face" but she isnt even good for the one thing she alludes to being good for, because she is frustratingly tame.
I reckon Frank Black has had attention from a number of sexy girls for his stardom, his ability as a musician, his passion, perhaps his money but i reckon he has been lead astray and let down by many more than that number. I could sense the frustration in the scream, if you were rich, famous, an amazing musician of an amazing band, and you couldnt get a cool smart attractive girl or even a dull smart attractive girl, then you couldnt even get a dull, stupid, attractive girl despite her actions to the contrary. Perhaps.
The sexual breathing noises, particularly Kim Deal doing them, are a representation of where the girls actions seem to intend leading to, perhaps in the characters mind. This is countered strongly with the scream TAME, to clarify the actions as fraudulent trickery or misleading.
