Everybody knows him he is a pleaser
Nothing else than just a teaser
Teaser of his own faint smile
Yes and how he is so amusing
Smiling can be so consuming
And so strange to explain
Oh... I know how
I think I might have known of you somehow
And what your name was
Like another man in many ways he is not
Like life itself a mystery or two
Hey Mr. Pleaser can you smile for me
Yes and how many times he hasn't
Spoken just to please not to displease
Please her if you please
Oh... I know how his life resembles yours
And you somehow are like him.
I see I have been too good for you
You know he is like me
Pleasing you and now, and now all
You do is wish I was more and more like him
If so would you consider keeping me
Closer I know, I know if I was......
He turns his head and doesn't see you
But when he does he looks and greets you
How are you and good luck !!
And so I call myself a pleaser
This time sitting on a secret
One secret now everybody knows
Nothing else than just a teaser
Teaser of his own faint smile
Yes and how he is so amusing
Smiling can be so consuming
And so strange to explain
Oh... I know how
I think I might have known of you somehow
And what your name was
Like another man in many ways he is not
Like life itself a mystery or two
Hey Mr. Pleaser can you smile for me
Yes and how many times he hasn't
Spoken just to please not to displease
Please her if you please
Oh... I know how his life resembles yours
And you somehow are like him.
I see I have been too good for you
You know he is like me
Pleasing you and now, and now all
You do is wish I was more and more like him
If so would you consider keeping me
Closer I know, I know if I was......
He turns his head and doesn't see you
But when he does he looks and greets you
How are you and good luck !!
And so I call myself a pleaser
This time sitting on a secret
One secret now everybody knows

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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,

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.
I am Mr. Pleaser
