@[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.
Can't play pretty tunes my hair is always messy
And I can't walk in a straight line
My path is always, always gritty
And I like to play piano but it's often out of tune
And there are lots of broken fingers
In the dark parts of my room
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
'Cause it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Love me tender, love me true
Show your colors black and blue
Make another crupper on the sofa
Eating marmalade
Hate to pry now it's forgotten
Feeling strange and looking rotten
Fighting like a soldier over skinny jeans and pick'n' mix
Fickle like a fruit machine
Playing with the cruise ship queen
Taking all his apples
And then going to play hide and seek
If you feel me please don't brake me
Please don't let that rat man take me
'Cause he thinks I'm weird
Well what's a girl to do
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
'Cause it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind, sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Don't stop, stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
And I can't walk in a straight line
My path is always, always gritty
And I like to play piano but it's often out of tune
And there are lots of broken fingers
In the dark parts of my room
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
'Cause it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Love me tender, love me true
Show your colors black and blue
Make another crupper on the sofa
Eating marmalade
Hate to pry now it's forgotten
Feeling strange and looking rotten
Fighting like a soldier over skinny jeans and pick'n' mix
Fickle like a fruit machine
Playing with the cruise ship queen
Taking all his apples
And then going to play hide and seek
If you feel me please don't brake me
Please don't let that rat man take me
'Cause he thinks I'm weird
Well what's a girl to do
Please don't touch
Please don't stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch
'Cause it makes me jitter
And although I lost my mind, sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don't touch
Don't stop, stop and stare
Yes I thank you for your kindness
But there's sadness in the air
Please don't touch

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
