@[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.
I learned how to dance the dance in a mystical way
And how to gather up the clouds on a sunny day
Now I can't heal the weak, nor teach the dumb to speak
But I can bring about a storm without delay
Now God told Noah what he had to do
The critters came marching up two by two
Your house don't float, you better build a boat
I know that magic too
Now if you don't stop your fighting
I'm gonna strike you all down with lighting
And make it rain till you wish that you never see another drop
But it won't stop
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
I'm just about set, to take the world by storm
This ancient recipe, it ain't no bust
You just gotta have the right kind of ancient dust
Now think real hard before
Declaring all our war
Because I can turn your blades of steel to rust
Ever heard of having water on the brain
The drip, drip, drip can drive a man insane
After the flood you'll have Sahara mud
And the Rocky Mountains will become an island chain
Now if you don't stop your fighting
I'm gonna strike you all down with lighting
And make it rain till you wish that you never see another drop
But it won't stop
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
I'm just about set, to take the world by storm
Take the world by storm
Take the world by storm
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
And how to gather up the clouds on a sunny day
Now I can't heal the weak, nor teach the dumb to speak
But I can bring about a storm without delay
Now God told Noah what he had to do
The critters came marching up two by two
Your house don't float, you better build a boat
I know that magic too
Now if you don't stop your fighting
I'm gonna strike you all down with lighting
And make it rain till you wish that you never see another drop
But it won't stop
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
I'm just about set, to take the world by storm
This ancient recipe, it ain't no bust
You just gotta have the right kind of ancient dust
Now think real hard before
Declaring all our war
Because I can turn your blades of steel to rust
Ever heard of having water on the brain
The drip, drip, drip can drive a man insane
After the flood you'll have Sahara mud
And the Rocky Mountains will become an island chain
Now if you don't stop your fighting
I'm gonna strike you all down with lighting
And make it rain till you wish that you never see another drop
But it won't stop
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
Shut all the windows, and slam the door
I'm just about set, to take the world by storm
Take the world by storm
Take the world by storm
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day

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 song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
