Well, I never got my license to live
They won't give it up
So I stand at the world's edge
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want some weird sin
Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want
Some weird sin, that's when I want
Some weird sin, just to relax with
Yeah, some dumb, weird sin, for a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin
Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want
Some weird sin, that's when I want
Some weird sin, just to relax with
Yes, some dumb weird sin, for a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin
Some weird sin
Some weird sin
They won't give it up
So I stand at the world's edge
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want some weird sin
Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want
Some weird sin, that's when I want
Some weird sin, just to relax with
Yeah, some dumb, weird sin, for a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin
Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin
I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want
Some weird sin, that's when I want
Some weird sin, just to relax with
Yes, some dumb weird sin, for a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some weird sin
Some weird sin
Some weird sin

@[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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Magical
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.
Some Weird Sin by Iggy Pop- The general message of the song is about three things: anxiety, rejection (or dispossession/displacement) and drug use. This album was made while Iggy Pop and David Bowie looked to Berlin to minimized their drug use. In essence, the song is about struggling with addiction while living with the stigma of being a social outcast. Here is a detailed summary:
Well, I never got my license to live They won't give it up So I stand at the world's edge: -Iggy never had much of a chance at life. He went to school with some of the wealthiest people, but was poor in comparison.
I'm trying to break in Oh, I know it's not for me And the sight of it all Makes me sad and ill That's when I want- Some Weird Sin: -Iggy realizes he will never be mainstream as his wealthy counterparts. It makes him feel "sad and ill" (possible a reference to Heroin withdrawals). This is when he wants a "weird sin" - which can only be interpreted as Heroin because of the following stanza-----
Things get too straight I can't bear it I feel stuck, stuck on a pin: -Iggy feels sober and can't take the reality sobriety presents. So he feels stuck, anxious to leave the situation like he is on the a pin- yet the pin may be a metaphor for his immobility as well as heroin use.
I'm trying to break in Oh, I know it's not for me But the sight of it all Makes me sad and ill That's when I want Some Weird Sin That's when I want Some Weird Sin Just to relax with: -Repeating the same concepts again. He wants a weird sin to relax with- this could mean sex, heroin, alcohol etc.
Yeah, some dumb, weird sin For a while anyway With my head on the ledge That's what you get out on the edge Some Weird Sin:
Things get too straight I can't bear it I feel stuck, stuck on a pin (see previous)
I'm trying to break in Oh, I know it's not for me When the sight of it all Makes me sad and ill That's when I want Some Weird Sin That's when I want Some Weird Sin Just to relax with (see previous)
That's some dumb weird sin For a while anyway With my head out on the ledge That's what you get out on the edge Some Weird sin (see previous)
Thank you!
