@[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.
Wake up!
Miss Toadstool, it is I your one and only King, Bowser Koopa
I'm a turtle as you've seen, a little slow and a little green,
But I'm the whole, I'd say, Super Duper
Princess Toadstool, I know you're frightened, mm mm
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
So lets just say,
Ignorance is bliss
Oh, well, I hate to be a bummer, but I've brought you here you bring me plumbers,
You know those brothers, oh, what are their names?
Oh yes, Mario and Luigi, just the sound of them makes me quesy,
I'd love to tak that monkey wrench, I'd play my own game.
Princess Toadstool, you're so misguided,
I've never been fond of bookworms, but then again,
This one does make good Mario bait
I can't wait
Ignorance is bliss!
With my magic book I will shower those Crumbsy Lizards with my power
Until Dinosaur Land is nothing but fossil fuel!
My only problem with these spells is that I know not what they tell
So every hex leaves me perplexed and all I want are those plumbing fools!
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever,
All your words are alphabet soup,
I'll say it again!
Ignorance is bliss!
Haven't you heard a pictures worth a thousand words?
You call yourself a princess, but you're a brainiac in a dress,
I can't believe you waste time with these books!
You remind me of my kid sister, she read so much she got a blister,
A big one, I mean big, on her brain, what a snook!
I'd like to get my hands on...
Just one time with a monkey wrench...
I'd fix their plumbing...
Princess Toadstool, I know you're freightened, (You're so misguided)
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever, (A picture says it better)
All your words are alphabet soup,
A picture tells it better
For the last time...
On second thought, I think I've made my point...

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,

this is one of the most genius jelly songs. lyrically and musically.
