@[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're gonna want it all back]
[you're gonna want it all]
[you're gonna want it all back]
[you're gonna want it all]
You're gonna want it all back
you're gonna want it all.
Are you a starvin' man?
You can want it all back
you can want it all.
Are you a rightous man
throw the witches on the fire
you're gonna burn 'em up
Are you so violent, yeah?
You can want it all back
you're gonna want it all.
They're gonna cut your neck
Give me the words she said you liked
You're gonna want it all
Are you a violent man?
Oh, we were lovers in July
and then the lightning comes
Oh, and it don't come back..
You're gonna want it all back
you're gonna want it all
You are a violent man
throw the witches on the fire
they're gonna cut your neck
[you're gonna want it all back]
[you're gonna want it all]
[you're gonna want it all back]
[you're gonna want it all]
You're gonna want it all back
you're gonna want it all.
Are you a starvin' man?
You can want it all back
you can want it all.
Are you a rightous man
throw the witches on the fire
you're gonna burn 'em up
Are you so violent, yeah?
You can want it all back
you're gonna want it all.
They're gonna cut your neck
Give me the words she said you liked
You're gonna want it all
Are you a violent man?
Oh, we were lovers in July
and then the lightning comes
Oh, and it don't come back..
You're gonna want it all back
you're gonna want it all
You are a violent man
throw the witches on the fire
they're gonna cut your neck
