@[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.
I think we need to talk, brother
I seen you at the club, you cut those jeans with a box cutter
That ain't a natural rip or tear
I don't get why you're trying to fix your hair
Dunks are dead when I fucking say so
My good friends, they no longer go to Halo
'Cause people there look at you without choices
Your clothes seem a lot like your voices
And that don't sit well, you usually stand
Take your gloves off if you ain't using your hands
I do the Cadence Stomp, I swear it's the best dance
Rappers give up, they all wear sweatpants
Colored bandannas and oversize jerseys
They rock the same steez even when they're over thirty
But that red on black number about gun culture
Makes me not wanna tell the cops, gosh
I wear pink un-ironically
And wave my big fist at my friend androgyny
I am the ironic black at your fake Cobra snake
House party, color me Moriarty
Very fashionable miss
I think that you're very fashionable miss
Girl, don't try and cop me a call
If what you rock's from some shop that they got in the mall
You probably shouldn't have bought that at all
Do you have any respect for yourself? Not at all
My apologies, I worked at a thrift store
Your style is dead, brought you flowers from the gift store
Hipster, scenester, I don't care like Weez-L
But I'd feel like an ad if my shirt said Diesel
I'm not a Kid Millionaire, I pass rockets
While you pay a few bills for some hooks on your ass pockets
It's just another cash crop
Busting in the crib like Trudeau wearing an ascot
My dear, it's an art to see your pants drop
Give 'em a little run, they get big headed like a mascot
You're on the hustle bus but it's your last stop
Have-nots worry, they all scurry 'til the math drops
Very fashionable miss
I think that you're very fashionable miss
Heavy drinkers, we bump the Heavy Blinkers
We don't do much and we don't do Much
We'll use them but they won't use us
'Cause these little girls won't come for free
With Nudie Jeans and chaste face paint
They game break, within all the tastes that they make
They hate, anyone that looks different
They contradict, they remind me of good prisons
No decisions, you know why they call it a catwalk
'Cause it's a thin line from which many in the past dropped
You cast offs, cut outs, misshapes
I'd rock a lampshade if I could get some fixed pay
They wanna blow up like Rick James
Until designers run through and they give them the ix-nay
It's a sick game, but I know girls that play it
They slang power you to the dudes that say this

Gentle Hour
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,
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/
