@[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.
I don't have time to stand here with you
Fighting about the size of my dick
I've got a meeting to get to
And a gun to pick up first
And I don't have time to stand in the rain
Fighting about all the same things again
If I don't leave now
Then I'll be too late to ever get back
And in 24 hours I've lived a hundred lives
I've shot one man dead and watched another two die
And it's touch and go if I should run or hide
And it's touch and go if I can live through the night
Well I've got the money and I've got the truck
But it's too close to call whether I've got the luck
But I'm too far in to even dream of getting back out
And I wish all the fighting
Had taken less time
I could have been in and out
We could have laughed through the night
But sometimes days can be seconds
And seconds can be your whole life
And in 24 hours I've lived a hundred lives
I've shot one man dead and watched another two die
And it's my turn now and I'm not surprised
I never thought that I would live through the night
It's not the bullet that causes the pain
It's the hole that it leaves when it comes out again
And the blood in the sunshine
Disappears just like the rain
And I'm dying for breathing
I'm blind in one eye
But here's what I choose
To take me into the night
You beautiful and drunk and singing softly to yourself
You beautiful and drunk and singing softly to yourself
Fighting about the size of my dick
I've got a meeting to get to
And a gun to pick up first
And I don't have time to stand in the rain
Fighting about all the same things again
If I don't leave now
Then I'll be too late to ever get back
And in 24 hours I've lived a hundred lives
I've shot one man dead and watched another two die
And it's touch and go if I should run or hide
And it's touch and go if I can live through the night
Well I've got the money and I've got the truck
But it's too close to call whether I've got the luck
But I'm too far in to even dream of getting back out
And I wish all the fighting
Had taken less time
I could have been in and out
We could have laughed through the night
But sometimes days can be seconds
And seconds can be your whole life
And in 24 hours I've lived a hundred lives
I've shot one man dead and watched another two die
And it's my turn now and I'm not surprised
I never thought that I would live through the night
It's not the bullet that causes the pain
It's the hole that it leaves when it comes out again
And the blood in the sunshine
Disappears just like the rain
And I'm dying for breathing
I'm blind in one eye
But here's what I choose
To take me into the night
You beautiful and drunk and singing softly to yourself
You beautiful and drunk and singing softly to yourself

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,
