This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So tell me how we got this far
You here with me
Hand in hand and standing tall
For all the world to see
I sure don’t own a magic carpet
Or have two bucks to eat
Only clumsy no good reason
But you deserve to dream
But you used to say that I
I swept you off your feet
So I’ll sit back and crack a smile
Because the only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
So forget the in-between
Oh, no no no no no
I’ve never been one for superstition
But we may resort to so
Because explaining you and me
Only works well as a joke
Wasn’t this love just made for movies
To be seen on the silver screen
Or weren’t these feelings left for dreaming
To the nobodies like me
But you used to say that I
I swept you off your feet
So I’ll sit back and crack a smile
Because the only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
The only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
(repeat)
So forget the in-between
Oh, no no no no
So by the moonlit hide and seek
With the sun that decides to peak
Into my heart each time you speak my name
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
(repeat to end)
You here with me
Hand in hand and standing tall
For all the world to see
I sure don’t own a magic carpet
Or have two bucks to eat
Only clumsy no good reason
But you deserve to dream
But you used to say that I
I swept you off your feet
So I’ll sit back and crack a smile
Because the only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
So forget the in-between
Oh, no no no no no
I’ve never been one for superstition
But we may resort to so
Because explaining you and me
Only works well as a joke
Wasn’t this love just made for movies
To be seen on the silver screen
Or weren’t these feelings left for dreaming
To the nobodies like me
But you used to say that I
I swept you off your feet
So I’ll sit back and crack a smile
Because the only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
The only thing that matters
Is you and me, baby
(repeat)
So forget the in-between
Oh, no no no no
So by the moonlit hide and seek
With the sun that decides to peak
Into my heart each time you speak my name
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
The only thing that matters
Is you and me
(repeat to end)

@[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.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
EV is an indie wonderboy whose honest, soulful lyrics and melodies make me feel like I've reached acoustic/pop heaven on earth lol... if such a place did in fact exist. Here with "Only Thing," he combines several themes:
This would be a great song to put on a mix cd for that special someone in your life. I can just imagine driving down an old two-lane highway, blasting this and singing at the top of my lungs with that someone special :)
