@[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.
Hung up and bent on a stranger
Just trying to swing a full-time ride
I never knew the cold hand of danger
Til I met this one and took it inside
Now I can't get near it
Don't want to hear it
My cover's blown
I walked in the rain like a drone
All the way to Marquette
The infinite pet
I got something to tell you
Far outside the black and white
Aw I got something I want to tell you
But who will receive it tonight
When I got up I cut my neckrug off
Resigned my name to the ranks of the blamed and the scoffed
Cursing the day I met
The infinite pet
Comes when you pirouette
Hung up and bent on a stranger
Just trying to swing a full-time ride
I never knew the cold hand of danger
Til I met this one and took it inside
I sat back I put my neckshirt on
Resigned myself to the fate of the failed and the conned
Just like that day I met
The infinite pet
Cheaper than all your threats
Comes when you pirouette
The the the the infinite pet
The infinite
Just trying to swing a full-time ride
I never knew the cold hand of danger
Til I met this one and took it inside
Now I can't get near it
Don't want to hear it
My cover's blown
I walked in the rain like a drone
All the way to Marquette
The infinite pet
I got something to tell you
Far outside the black and white
Aw I got something I want to tell you
But who will receive it tonight
When I got up I cut my neckrug off
Resigned my name to the ranks of the blamed and the scoffed
Cursing the day I met
The infinite pet
Comes when you pirouette
Hung up and bent on a stranger
Just trying to swing a full-time ride
I never knew the cold hand of danger
Til I met this one and took it inside
I sat back I put my neckshirt on
Resigned myself to the fate of the failed and the conned
Just like that day I met
The infinite pet
Cheaper than all your threats
Comes when you pirouette
The the the the infinite pet
The infinite

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
sounds like he had a major crush on an unattainable woman, and was shot down like the rest.
