@[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.
Spoiled one got your heart set
Hoping for a brand new bike
Getting anxious just you wait and see
Mommy please, everybody's got one
I hope you like working 'cause it's never gonna come
You promised me
(Someone's telling lies)
They used to lie to me
(Someone's telling lies)
Expectation from the chimney
(Freaking disguise)
Because with lots to see
Tinsel dreams of what they promised me
(I'm on a merry go mission with a carousel team)
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
No Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells you
Don't believe in phony fairy tales
Gamma ray gun space flight to six ten
Flying over your head headed straight to your friend
Tou're so lucky
Now you're all grown up with a badge and a gun
Fighting crime in december brings you tainted memories
(If you got what you wanted then you might be..... nice)
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells
You don't believe in phony fairy tales
Space flight to six ten so holiday cheer to the fine reindeer
And all the other crap that goes with that I'm sorry to say
So be careful whose lap you sit upon
You just might turn Kris Kringle on
Your whispers they may, may, may
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
Hoping for a brand new bike
Getting anxious just you wait and see
Mommy please, everybody's got one
I hope you like working 'cause it's never gonna come
You promised me
(Someone's telling lies)
They used to lie to me
(Someone's telling lies)
Expectation from the chimney
(Freaking disguise)
Because with lots to see
Tinsel dreams of what they promised me
(I'm on a merry go mission with a carousel team)
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
No Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells you
Don't believe in phony fairy tales
Gamma ray gun space flight to six ten
Flying over your head headed straight to your friend
Tou're so lucky
Now you're all grown up with a badge and a gun
Fighting crime in december brings you tainted memories
(If you got what you wanted then you might be..... nice)
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells
You don't believe in phony fairy tales
Space flight to six ten so holiday cheer to the fine reindeer
And all the other crap that goes with that I'm sorry to say
So be careful whose lap you sit upon
You just might turn Kris Kringle on
Your whispers they may, may, may
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish

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 a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
OH JEEZ, pedophilic mall santas! Parents tell little kids about Santa Claus and the kids believe the stories, then they suddenly wake up from the delusion. And realize exactly why none of their most precious Christmas wishes were ever fulfilled: Mom and Dad are really doing the job, and they're really cheap.
Reminds me of mafia-style executions. "You'll get your Xmas wish when you sleep with the fish." That or pirates...
In wich album is this song?
don't do drugs while you're pregnant. this song is proof. te ehee. just kidding.
I cryed when i found out he was fake. :] and i could have killed my parents for makeing me sit on a total strangers lap. who knows. it could have been some hobo that they picked up from the street and payed him $3 an hour. >:| He could have had crabs. jesus. eww.
If I had to name a favourite Xmas song, it'd be this one.
Portrays the darker side of Xmas..the high chance of disappointment, pedophilia, and the fact that war and violent crime persist during the holiday season.
"I'm on a merry-go mission with a carousel team" -- possible reference to Carousel in the film adaptation of Logan's Run. In the book and movie, overpopulation is dealt with by having people over 30 terminated; in the film, they are expected to travel to a place where they will supposedly undergo the ritual of "Carnival" which somehow renews them but in reality they're just killed. Ties in with the theme of youth and the disappointment that growing older and wiser often brings.
