Ain't it funny how time flies
Twenty minutes have gone by
Since I met these other guys
And we've already had a hit
And you're listening to it
And I'm sure you think it should be number one already
I'm the one who can actually sing
I wanna get up and do my thing
But they say that I mustn't make the other guys look bad
I'm the one who's quiet and shy
They still let me sing but I don't know why
And now the tune is wearing thin, the chorus should begin

And we all sing the chorus together
'Cos we can't do harmonies yet
And this song will stick in your head forever
Though you try so hard to forget

I'm the one they hired to dance
When they offered me the chance
To sing one verse I said no thanks
And I'm the one who wrote the song
I'm wondering where the money's gone
And do I need these hangers-on?
I'm the one that the chicks desire
The one who sets their pants on fire
I don't need these ugly losers standing in my way...
I'm the one that the mums adore
Are we going to split? Well I'm not quite sure
But I think I'm going to slip away and sign a solo deal today

So we'll all sing the chorus one last time
Then we'll go our separate ways
And we practised these harmonies for ages
Oh well they weren't that good anyway

Well I guess that it was fun while it lasted
And at least we made number one
For a minute we were all lucky bleeders
But tomorrow we're signing on

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
