The little spoken interlude isn't a part of the song. It has been recorded and performed live before and after Surfer Rosa, and never had anything to do with the field hockey banter.
I doubt the above lyrics are correct anyway; they happen to rhyme throughout the song. For instance:
And when I was a little boy
A ball of string my favorite toy (I'm amazed)
The day before that I was wed
She went upstairs and shot her head (I'm amazed)
Also, before Albini got his hands on it, it had this extra section, with the lyrics "all broke hearts will all mend, all broke hearts will all mend"
As for its meaning . . . maybe something to do with trying to mend severed ties?
