@[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 got a face that only your mother could love
beneath the makeup and skin is only skeleton
looking through your window
when you're home and all alone
I'll swallow you whole with milk
and spit out the bones
This song is not for you
this song is just for me
la dolce vita in a city by the sea
inside our honeymoon sweet
in the belly of a whale
I want you lying facedown
upon a bed of nails
Say hello to my little friend
my god it's so good to see you again
pure bedlam for halfbreeds
under the hot rain in the tropic purgatory
pure mayhems for og's
I'm down with tippin 40's to your memory
We are now the bonnie and clyde of the prison yard
our love is firing bullets in the prison gaurds
we are now the angels of death breathing cyanide
circling the sun burning holes in the blue sky
This life is not for you
This life is not for me
now we've got our necks all stuck in a guillotine
don't let em see your fear
don't let em hear you scream
just close your eyes and pretend it's a bad dream
Harder faster you know you want it harder faster
alright
Lullabies in voice so sweet
to you and me and the devil makes 3
there's no place like home
we are not in kansas anymore
rape becomes the new I love you
out with the old assault on the senses
Ashes of the mushroom clouds
sulpher tears rain down
whispers in the wind grow loud
my god its so hot down here
hush little baby dry your eyes
don't cry my sweet clementine
Hello pharaoh where's your halo
beneath the makeup and skin is only skeleton
looking through your window
when you're home and all alone
I'll swallow you whole with milk
and spit out the bones
This song is not for you
this song is just for me
la dolce vita in a city by the sea
inside our honeymoon sweet
in the belly of a whale
I want you lying facedown
upon a bed of nails
Say hello to my little friend
my god it's so good to see you again
pure bedlam for halfbreeds
under the hot rain in the tropic purgatory
pure mayhems for og's
I'm down with tippin 40's to your memory
We are now the bonnie and clyde of the prison yard
our love is firing bullets in the prison gaurds
we are now the angels of death breathing cyanide
circling the sun burning holes in the blue sky
This life is not for you
This life is not for me
now we've got our necks all stuck in a guillotine
don't let em see your fear
don't let em hear you scream
just close your eyes and pretend it's a bad dream
Harder faster you know you want it harder faster
alright
Lullabies in voice so sweet
to you and me and the devil makes 3
there's no place like home
we are not in kansas anymore
rape becomes the new I love you
out with the old assault on the senses
Ashes of the mushroom clouds
sulpher tears rain down
whispers in the wind grow loud
my god its so hot down here
hush little baby dry your eyes
don't cry my sweet clementine
Hello pharaoh where's your halo

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town

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.
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 think most of these lyrics are lines from movies.
