@[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.
Anything can happen as we make our way
Home from the club
We could both be flattened
By a double-decker city bus
Otherwise a perfect night
If we're not dead before it ends
We could live forever
But we'll never be this young again
Don't you worry,
Don't think about
Tomorrow morning,
What's your hurry?
Just focus on tonight
We could fall in love
And trade this city
For a change of pace,
Find our slice of paradise
And give our babies hippie names
Maybe we'll both hate each other
Shitty sex 'n separate beds
We could get restraining orders
Vow to never speak again...
On second thought, let's not say names,
I'll just be me and you be you,
Two perfect strangers being sneaky
With a flask of booze,
No need to think of any clever
Pickup lines to use
I've got a stack of records
You just bring your dancing shoes
'Cause tonight I'll drop the needle,
Pop a bottle, sit back and just watch you dance
Tonight I'll drop the needle,
Pop a bottle, sit back and just watch you
Home from the club
We could both be flattened
By a double-decker city bus
Otherwise a perfect night
If we're not dead before it ends
We could live forever
But we'll never be this young again
Don't you worry,
Don't think about
Tomorrow morning,
What's your hurry?
Just focus on tonight
We could fall in love
And trade this city
For a change of pace,
Find our slice of paradise
And give our babies hippie names
Maybe we'll both hate each other
Shitty sex 'n separate beds
We could get restraining orders
Vow to never speak again...
On second thought, let's not say names,
I'll just be me and you be you,
Two perfect strangers being sneaky
With a flask of booze,
No need to think of any clever
Pickup lines to use
I've got a stack of records
You just bring your dancing shoes
'Cause tonight I'll drop the needle,
Pop a bottle, sit back and just watch you dance
Tonight I'll drop the needle,
Pop a bottle, sit back and just watch you

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The third stanza there is actually:
We can live forever But we'll never be this young again.
Anyways I love The Limousines and this is one of my favorites off the album. Its really a song about a guy and a girl who have chemistry and a shot at making it work. but they know even as their having fun that things get complicated really easy so instead of trying to call it something or define their relationship and whats changing they decide to just have some fun and dance and fuck and be drunk and drink more haha. its actually incredibly cute too.
Ah, so it is on the album version. Will fix. When I was submitting this, only the demo was out, so I was using that, and the lyrics are slightly different. Demo is available here if you're interested: fileden.com/files/2007/11/24/1604892/The%20Limousines%20-%20DEMO%20flaskaboozendancinshoes%20DEMO.mp3<br /> <br /> And I agree, that's pretty much what I got from the song, too.
