@[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.
With wondering eyes, Lord we admire the feast prepared by grace
Come, Lord, and set our souls on fire, and fill each heart with peace
These emblems of thy precious love, by faith may we receive
And with a solemn pleasure prove, we in thy name believe
We eat this bread, we drink this wine, come give yourself to us
We know you're here, that's why we've come to feast on thee with love
No goodness of our own we bring, we're sinners vile and base
Christ is our all; of Christ we sing, and long to see his face
O may we each, with heart and tongue sing, "Worthy is the Lamb"
To him alone the praise belongs, and we'll adore his name
We eat this bread, we drink this wine, come give yourself to us
We know you're here, that's why we've come to feast on thee with love
Come, Lord, and set our souls on fire, and fill each heart with peace
These emblems of thy precious love, by faith may we receive
And with a solemn pleasure prove, we in thy name believe
We eat this bread, we drink this wine, come give yourself to us
We know you're here, that's why we've come to feast on thee with love
No goodness of our own we bring, we're sinners vile and base
Christ is our all; of Christ we sing, and long to see his face
O may we each, with heart and tongue sing, "Worthy is the Lamb"
To him alone the praise belongs, and we'll adore his name
We eat this bread, we drink this wine, come give yourself to us
We know you're here, that's why we've come to feast on thee with love

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,
