@[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.
Poke the body with a stick, roll it down
Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground
Be brave and save your day
These days are cold, numbers rule I've been told
The pattern's clear better fit in the mold
You need to be brave and save your day
You need to be brave and save your day
To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs
Hold tight to your life savings
You have to do what you must to save your day
So poke the body and roll it down
The grave looks cold but we're still young
We're still young
Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground
Be brave and save your day
These days are cold, numbers rule I've been told
The pattern's clear better fit in the mold
You need to be brave and save your day
You need to be brave and save your day
To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs
Hold tight to your life savings
You have to do what you must to save your day
So poke the body and roll it down
The grave looks cold but we're still young
We're still young

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Just can't believe having roamed this sight for a while that no one has anything to say about this song! My favourite from the album and its mainly the lyrics which make it such a god song. It for me sums up the genius of Jose, in being both hauntingly sinister such as "Poke the body with a sick/ Roll it down/ Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground" and simultaneously comfortably uplifting "Be brave and save your day". Finishes as beautifully as it starts ominously "the grave looks cold but were still young/ Were still young". Great stuff.
