@[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.
You took your 57 Holden right across the nation
Shooting up public schools and service stations
Never been arrested and you never thought you would
Told the officer sorry to keep you waiting
Takes a lot of time to do the work of Satan
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Passed out in the pub like a common asshole
20-dollar bill sticking out of your nostril
Called the paramedics but they could not kick start your heart
And now you're blue
As blue as a boy could be and the prognosis isn't good
Now you're looking at an early grave and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty but the pants are clean
You'll make the best looking corpse the world has ever scene
Now you're looking at an early grave and you're looking good
Brought up by your daddy to respect religion
What the father did in boarding school just wasn't Christian
Your silence paid for your collage tuition fees
The memories were so blue as blue as a boy could be
Your children never understood
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty but your shirt is clean
You're on the front of every newspaper and magazine
The lawyer told the jury you were just misunderstood
Well your minds is dirty but your pants are clean
Every where you go you've always got the make a scene
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Oh no now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Shooting up public schools and service stations
Never been arrested and you never thought you would
Told the officer sorry to keep you waiting
Takes a lot of time to do the work of Satan
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Passed out in the pub like a common asshole
20-dollar bill sticking out of your nostril
Called the paramedics but they could not kick start your heart
And now you're blue
As blue as a boy could be and the prognosis isn't good
Now you're looking at an early grave and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty but the pants are clean
You'll make the best looking corpse the world has ever scene
Now you're looking at an early grave and you're looking good
Brought up by your daddy to respect religion
What the father did in boarding school just wasn't Christian
Your silence paid for your collage tuition fees
The memories were so blue as blue as a boy could be
Your children never understood
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Well your hands are dirty but your shirt is clean
You're on the front of every newspaper and magazine
The lawyer told the jury you were just misunderstood
Well your minds is dirty but your pants are clean
Every where you go you've always got the make a scene
Now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good
Oh no now you're looking at 20 years and you're looking good

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
