@[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.
Memories that fade away
Have not left their mark
But to live on every single day in many different ways
It's the truth between his cunning lies
That hands him his (acho) suspicious alibis
Persuading with your forms will never be the way to our destiny
Suddenly we've lost the forms
To close our cursed wombs
No one seems to realize that (wolves) are in disguise
Your engine was so strong
But the road was just too long
Hope is not the end
So never lose the faith
As long as we can say
They can never take away
Our freedom the most precious thing we've ever had
The reward from the blood we've ever shed
His quest for higher truth
Life of eternal youth has just begun
In spite your way along the road
Many virgins wait for him to come
Persuading with your forms will never be the way to our destiny
Our destiny
Have not left their mark
But to live on every single day in many different ways
It's the truth between his cunning lies
That hands him his (acho) suspicious alibis
Persuading with your forms will never be the way to our destiny
Suddenly we've lost the forms
To close our cursed wombs
No one seems to realize that (wolves) are in disguise
Your engine was so strong
But the road was just too long
Hope is not the end
So never lose the faith
As long as we can say
They can never take away
Our freedom the most precious thing we've ever had
The reward from the blood we've ever shed
His quest for higher truth
Life of eternal youth has just begun
In spite your way along the road
Many virgins wait for him to come
Persuading with your forms will never be the way to our destiny
Our destiny

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
At first, I didn't know what the hell this song was about. It seemed to be a sad ballade of some sort...
But then I noticed these lyrics ''Many virgins wait for him to come''. And after that, everything came into place. I explain now:
This song is about a suicide bomber, most likely a muslim extremist. I don't know very much about Islam, but I know that suicide bombers are being promised a place in paradise with seven virgins for eternity if he kills enemies of Islam. Just read through the lyrics with that interpetarion in mind, you'll see it fits pretty good.
''No one seems to realise that wolves are in disguise''
Anyway, it's a lovely song with a sad and heavy mood.
