@[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.
There's a stillness to the thrashing of despair
There is a calm in the rush of your stare
And I'm now beyond care
Experience being gained, we're back to back
And strain to strain, there is a stillness
Breathes in you and me
Music calls without answer
Where the darkness lies heavy
And the beast has no master
And the spirit no name
And the angels are hushing
And they dance in soft shame
This hysterical house could collapse in the night
And the hinges will buckle
Liars choke on their spike
But the darkness has a hunger
It offers you blood for wild blood
And you be on wondering
Why you're still not good enough
There is a glory in the pitch of your desire
And a calm in my gaze as my feet are retired
Our pulses exchange, we're face to face
Finally higher and wire to wire
Ohh, wire to wire, wire to wire
Signal to satellite, bullet to beast
Frequency is higher, ohh
I'm apart of this illusion, I'm for blues blood
To which new feeling do we go? Wire to wire
There is a calm in the rush of your stare
And I'm now beyond care
Experience being gained, we're back to back
And strain to strain, there is a stillness
Breathes in you and me
Music calls without answer
Where the darkness lies heavy
And the beast has no master
And the spirit no name
And the angels are hushing
And they dance in soft shame
This hysterical house could collapse in the night
And the hinges will buckle
Liars choke on their spike
But the darkness has a hunger
It offers you blood for wild blood
And you be on wondering
Why you're still not good enough
There is a glory in the pitch of your desire
And a calm in my gaze as my feet are retired
Our pulses exchange, we're face to face
Finally higher and wire to wire
Ohh, wire to wire, wire to wire
Signal to satellite, bullet to beast
Frequency is higher, ohh
I'm apart of this illusion, I'm for blues blood
To which new feeling do we go? Wire to wire

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'

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
So just a couple of lyrical corrections first: Not "stain to stain" but it's "strain to strain"; Not "Liars choke on their spike" but it's "Liars choke on their spite"; Not "and you be on wondering" but it's "And you're beyond wondering"; Not "And a calm in my gaze as my feet are retire" but it's "And a calm in my gaze as my fear retires"; Not "I'm apart of this illusion" but it's "And for whose illusion"; Not " I'm for Blues Blood" but it's "And for whose blood"; Not "To which new feeling do we go" but it's "To which new fever do we go". Overall you did a great job with the lyrics and thank you for posting.
Looking at the song wire to wire, I think the phrase means an intense love. So in this song possibly the narrator has reached this intense love. The beginning sounds like the narrator and whoever have been clubbing, drugged out of their minds. This drug induced high through the song lends the belief that maybe wire to wire is them feeling this intense connection and attraction to each other, but not necessarily love like in the song wire to wire. Maybe? Just my thoughts. I do know that I absolutely love this song and listen to it all the time.
