@[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.
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you please give me a kiss?
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause I felt your pain
When your - your baby was slain
I tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you let me underneath your halo?
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, where you goin' after church?
In that preacher's car
You know I won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody, tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you please give me a kiss?
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause I felt your pain
When your - your baby was slain
I tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you let me underneath your halo?
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, where you goin' after church?
In that preacher's car
You know I won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody, tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas

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,

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think everybody is taking this too literally.. I think this is more of a love song..They are singing about a godly, straight-laced woman who is like the Virgin Mary, and is afraid of 'acting out' or whatever. I think Madonna is really a metaphor... They are describing a 'perfect' woman who is afraid to rebel from the way she was brought up, etc., by smoking cigars, loving other women, etc.
