@[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.

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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Great song. Johnny sounds like a real bastard!
Jenny Lewis and Jonathan Rice?
haha
i first assumed this was about a struggling relationship with jonny as a jerk boyfriend, but upon listening to it 1000 times, i now see it as about a protective older brother, jonny, worried about his young teenage sister who has fallen into the wrong crowd
when i saw these guys live, jonny pierce kept making a gesture to a pregnant stomach whilst singing. maybe the lyrics are indicating that a girl he is very much in love with has gotten pregnant with someone else? which could link with: 'it's out of love (no it's not)' as if to say that the baby wasn't for love, more lust?
"This next song is about a girl I really hate" He said last night onstage about this one. I think if it was about a sister he wouldn't still hate her in his 20's so it's more like an ex girlfriend and who knows, the pregnancy is a possible thing this girl had. It's about dead love to me and the flower analogy could represent her sleeping around (Flower represents virignity) oh my it could even be about his first love.
was this in manchester? :}
Jonny in the song is probably the lead singer Jonny pierce. I think this song is about how he's in a relationship with a girl not because he's in love with her but because he's trying to hide his sexuality and wants to leave her. In real life the lead singer is gay and this is a common method of hiding one's sexuality. However the issue is that the girl doesn't want the Jonny to leave so she says "don't be a jerk Jonny"and gets more and more desperate until Jonny says "believe in something you're full of horseshit" as a way of trying to get her to move on. Jonny starts to become bitter and dislike her because his attempts to leave her fail. Thus the line "you used to be so pretty but now you're just tragic". When someone uses the method of being in a heterosexual relationship to hide their sexuality they usually choose a person they admire. This explains why he compliments her several times despite also insulting her. Overall this song is just a situation so many closeted people get themselves into.
