@[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.
Caught between one thick line
I can never see in the dark
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
And now you go (slip me the Vicodin)
This world is upside down
Night at the symphony
The bar is closing down (and now you go)
Slip me an antidote
Empty the cash-box out
And now you go (slip me the Vicodin)
This world is upside down
Night at the symphony
The bar is closing down (and now you go)
Slip me an antidote
Empty the cash-box out
And I don't know why
I don't know why I fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
(Take the call and quickly lie about)
(Who you've been seeing lately)
(Then forget about it all)
Stage lights are burning up
Running faster to this spot
Staring at these faces
Torn from all these places
And I won't go
Mace yourself, blame someone else
Fall face down, fluid leaking out your eyeballs
Mace yourself, blame someone else
It's okay, no one will believe you
Mace yourself, blame someone else
Fall face down, fluid leaking out your eyeballs
Mace yourself, blame someone else
It's okay, no one will believe you now
And I believed you're not okay
And I won't go far
And I believed you're not okay
And I don't know why
I don't know why I fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
(Take the call and quickly lie about)
(Who you've been seeing lately)
(Then forget about it all)
Hey girl, you're the best
I'm a sucker, maybe I should fuck her now
I can never see in the dark
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
Can you see at all?
And now you go (slip me the Vicodin)
This world is upside down
Night at the symphony
The bar is closing down (and now you go)
Slip me an antidote
Empty the cash-box out
And now you go (slip me the Vicodin)
This world is upside down
Night at the symphony
The bar is closing down (and now you go)
Slip me an antidote
Empty the cash-box out
And I don't know why
I don't know why I fight for you this way
Fight for you this way
Fight for you this way

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

So yeah, whoever will go through these comments will prolly understand that this song is about a couple where one of the sides cheating. What I love THE MOST in dgd is the fuckin unique way that anyone can understand the song. In the last lines : (Hey girl, you're the best I'm a sucker, maybe I should fuck her now) I think he means that - he complements her to make her feel good, says hes bad to make her feel special.But what hes getting is sex out of her,1-0 Cunt
