This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i got these sad eyes
so i go with it
i never see blue skies
only grey days on my calendar
i never eat nothing
just so i look like a starving artist
only got bones to show
my hair i would grow
but that just isn’t who i am today
its just a role i play
the person that i am today
is gunna change in the morning
consistency is so boring
maybe ill change my name
cut my hair
you’ll find me signing up for the army
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over
i got this new term
go head and run with it
some guys play girls
some guys play cards
but they never ever wind up winning
so im a role player
im a real sooth sayer
could be someone you like
someone you’d spite
or just somebody you’d take home tonight
its still a role i play
the person that i am today
is gunna change in the morning
consistency is so boring
so maybe ill change my name
cut my hair
you’ll find me signing up for the army
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
over, over, and over
and over, ohhhhh
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over
so i go with it
i never see blue skies
only grey days on my calendar
i never eat nothing
just so i look like a starving artist
only got bones to show
my hair i would grow
but that just isn’t who i am today
its just a role i play
the person that i am today
is gunna change in the morning
consistency is so boring
maybe ill change my name
cut my hair
you’ll find me signing up for the army
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over
i got this new term
go head and run with it
some guys play girls
some guys play cards
but they never ever wind up winning
so im a role player
im a real sooth sayer
could be someone you like
someone you’d spite
or just somebody you’d take home tonight
its still a role i play
the person that i am today
is gunna change in the morning
consistency is so boring
so maybe ill change my name
cut my hair
you’ll find me signing up for the army
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
im starting over
over, over, and over
and over, ohhhhh
its still a role I play
hated who i was yesterday
so im starting over

Holiday

@[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.
Gentle Hour

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,
