@[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.
Some songs see us sailing away
Navigating foreign borders, and climbing the waves
Someday your secret will be revealed
Am I the one you're thinking of when the sun goes down into the water?
We're struck by the still of the moon
Hanging up there in the sky as though a balloon
Anchored by an astronaut's patriot tune
We will buy the ship and fly to the land that would be rediscovered
We'll design a clever disguise
We'll retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives underwater, you and me
We'll escape beneath the violet sky
Clouds come and night falls
You seem different on my mind
Upon an endless trail of moonlight
You'll never realize that we have gone, we have gone right out of, out of sight
We'll design a clever disguise
We'll retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives underwater, you and me
Navigating foreign borders, and climbing the waves
Someday your secret will be revealed
Am I the one you're thinking of when the sun goes down into the water?
We're struck by the still of the moon
Hanging up there in the sky as though a balloon
Anchored by an astronaut's patriot tune
We will buy the ship and fly to the land that would be rediscovered
We'll design a clever disguise
We'll retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives underwater, you and me
We'll escape beneath the violet sky
Clouds come and night falls
You seem different on my mind
Upon an endless trail of moonlight
You'll never realize that we have gone, we have gone right out of, out of sight
We'll design a clever disguise
We'll retreat to the bottom of the sea
We were destined to live out our lives underwater, you and me

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
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.
Mm.. most likely, I misheard some lyrics. Feel free to post all the suggestions/lyrics you want.. that relates to this song.
...as well as the other songs I submit.
I really love this song, but it's a bit disappointing that it's not on Some Loud Thunder. =\
Brackets differ among versions
The sound of the fog horn [That/It] tears me from my sleep I'm much too tired for the waking But too wired for the sheep And the anvil's on the table And the sword is on the door Now it's time to pick up bread crumbs That you spilled upon the floor Let's go!
Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson
Now I can't forget to put to put the pipe In my mouth, for the smell will tell The neighbors that I'm on the beat again So please don't pause in any strange [and/or] darkened corners, that's where I'm looking first I'll rip the groceries from your arms And empty the contents of your purse
Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson
This water's something salty [Soil] In the backseat [I know what, I know what he's got/but I better heed, please him]
Well the joke is on me, as it somehow always seems to be I went looking for some hard clues, Of the inner-city trees And [there was/you were] no one to be found And [there was/you were] nowhere to be seen And it's getting late at night Now, what's this? Grab a cup of tea!
Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson
Now I'm sitting in my room again Still waiting for your call I got a blister on my forehead For when I leaned against the wall And my notebook's full of memories, Too sad for when to tell about the time when you were next to me [And] Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin'
Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson Me and you, Watson
