@[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.
It's an easy beat of nothing
And we don't need no guitars
We can run and sing and wreak our cars
Be careful of the judge inside
His gavel and his stand collide
But he's only guilty of what's wrong
Now you can take a feather and pull it from your hat
You murder all the liars who say they're about to die
Oh die, die, die, die
You know that you'll die, die, die, die
I won't let you die, die, die
Oh
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
We all lost our dog now
To the hunter and the fog now
Either it's asleep or it's lying
Well, there are many things that I would love to turn you on to
Underneath the sun, but we are cool
Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool
You know that we're cool, cool, cool
Oh
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
Just take what you can
Like a chicken in the pan
You're bound to drop it
Just doing what you can
And we don't need no guitars
We can run and sing and wreak our cars
Be careful of the judge inside
His gavel and his stand collide
But he's only guilty of what's wrong
Now you can take a feather and pull it from your hat
You murder all the liars who say they're about to die
Oh die, die, die, die
You know that you'll die, die, die, die
I won't let you die, die, die
Oh
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
We all lost our dog now
To the hunter and the fog now
Either it's asleep or it's lying
Well, there are many things that I would love to turn you on to
Underneath the sun, but we are cool
Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool
You know that we're cool, cool, cool
Oh
They tell you time and time again
It's now or never
But a bird flying out with the breeze
It's a damn good reason
For the change of season
Just take what you can
Like a chicken in the pan
You're bound to drop it
Just doing what you can

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I love their sound. Love. Love. Love. =]
