@[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.
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, I fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear
Insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry
Thought I was going mad in a hurry
Getting stressed, making excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me
And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks since I last slept, kept taking sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night
I write by candlelight, I find insight
Fundamental movement, huh, so when it's black
This insomniac, take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, I fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear
Insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry
Thought I was going mad in a hurry
Getting stressed, making excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me
And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks since I last slept, kept taking sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night
I write by candlelight, I find insight
Fundamental movement, huh, so when it's black
This insomniac, take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Wow, what a choon - this eclectic mix of coffee house chilledness and autoeuphoric laidbackness that is created is just superb as for the lyrics I think he's on a comedown
"" This is the best version of this song, with the best lyrics. But which version is it (and how long is it)? The lyrics seem to start with "Deep in the bosom of the gentle night" with every copy I find. ""
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night, is when I search for the light, pick up my pen and start to write, I strugle and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight without fear, insomnia.

youtube.com/watch <-- Original version (3:35 in length)
wwwill,
what you are referring to is the radio edit of this choon. the above lyrics are from the album version/club mix, which is only available on the album "Reverence" or every import club mix CD from the year 1996-1997.
what a choon! yet again, Maxi Jazz taking us lyrically, musically and emotionally to our own bitter sweet euphoria. Now thats what i'm talking about.
I like the remix version, but I haven't heard any other version as of yet
There are alot more versions of this song than many people realise. :: The Original Radio Edit lasted 03:36 and the Original Mix on 2 x 12" lasted 10:55 (of sweet heaven!). The lyrics here also appeared on the Revernce album and the track lasts 08:47. The US album also got the Monster Radio edit 03:34. The Reverence/Irreverence album also features Insomnia (Moody Mix) 10:40. In fact there are quite a few other mixes but i won't bore you with all the stats! Hope that's of some help
the version ive got lasts 4 minutes odd, but the start is actually the latter part and starts just after he says 'i cant get no sleep' really slow then it goes into the lyrics AjRuler says.
i got the monster mix, bout 7 mins, wiv the lyrics up there, the smoke weed ones. botherd lol
