@[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.
That girl is the kind of girl
Who's in love with the guy before you
That girl is the kind of girl
To create you and destroy you
That boy is the kind of boy
Who takes everything for granted
That sex is the kind of sex
For which VD was invented
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
And it's all wrapped up inside you
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
You think she drops her kit
For any shit to take her
You wanna dance with HIV and she'll
Shake her money-maker
Those girls are the kind of girls
And you're glad that you forgot them
That girl is the kind of girl
And she's someone else's problem
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
It's all wrapped up inside you
Take a dive and you can catch the ride
To all the places that you'll never find
Easy how the girl just takes your side
And when you're down she'll leave you far behind
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
Who's in love with the guy before you
That girl is the kind of girl
To create you and destroy you
That boy is the kind of boy
Who takes everything for granted
That sex is the kind of sex
For which VD was invented
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
And it's all wrapped up inside you
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
(Tiger in your tank) she's an Action Panzer
You think she drops her kit
For any shit to take her
You wanna dance with HIV and she'll
Shake her money-maker
Those girls are the kind of girls
And you're glad that you forgot them
That girl is the kind of girl
And she's someone else's problem
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely
But how can a poor boy compete with
A lifetime of sequins and secrets
It's all wrapped up inside you
Take a dive and you can catch the ride
To all the places that you'll never find
Easy how the girl just takes your side
And when you're down she'll leave you far behind
Queenie I swear that I loved you completely

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,

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
