In short: this song is about sex. The first verse refers to the boys who crave regrets and gives an outlaw image (a.k.a. “bad”) image to a girl with the bandana around her neck. When the crowd sings they go from the number 9 to the number 5 (no this is not totally a reference to work and daily shifts), skipping 6 after 9. This song also talks about one night between a girl and a guy. This whole song’s meaning is summed up by the next line that asks: Why not “do it” (say this to yourself and now see how it sounds) forever?
The chorus: Harmonicas and tambourines seems totally pointless other than that those instruments are used in this song; until you realize how these instruments are played (you blow a harmonica and band a tambourine….hhhmmm now). Also it talks about a fancy girl and how with her Brooklyn dreams: the lead singer might just be too plain for her; and that she thinks about him all the time, but he dies when she moves on into her career.
In the second verse the singer wonders whether the girls will say yes or no (what to the mind can only wonder several possible situations). Along with another sex reference of “ bit too loud and the lights a bit too low”; finalized with the same question of “why not do it forever.
