@[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.
You've been around making no sound
Me and your mind my child
You're getting stressed about
Passing the test
That make up the days of your life
You gotta change turn the page and upstage
All of your days starting now
Well you heard the girl, it's your world
And you get your way
Girl, she's telling you now this is how
You can get her to stay
You gotta get on board, that's all
Desire and inspire
You gotta get on board, tonight that's war
Until you find you walked
I will carry you i will carry you
You gotta make your move
Careful how you choose
And I'll be here if you fall
Well you got some fight
You just might be alright if you stay
I've started to listen
You're missing the best share of days
Cause here is your big chance
You can blow this romance
Strike while the iron is hot
Tell her the truth, tell her all about you
Tell her you know what you've got
Cause you write the book
Just tell her with a look
She'll run straight into your arms
Cause you are the man she made plans
To be with in this life
And you make her happy, yes you can
You gotta trust that she's right
Cause you are the man she made plans
To be with in this life
Me and your mind my child
You're getting stressed about
Passing the test
That make up the days of your life
You gotta change turn the page and upstage
All of your days starting now
Well you heard the girl, it's your world
And you get your way
Girl, she's telling you now this is how
You can get her to stay
You gotta get on board, that's all
Desire and inspire
You gotta get on board, tonight that's war
Until you find you walked
I will carry you i will carry you
You gotta make your move
Careful how you choose

Well you got some fight
You just might be alright if you stay
I've started to listen
You're missing the best share of days
Cause here is your big chance
You can blow this romance
Strike while the iron is hot
Tell her the truth, tell her all about you

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I’m impressed. Very informative and trustworthy blog does exactly what it sets out to do. I’ll bookmark your weblog for future use.
