@[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.
When the world is on your shoulders
And the sun don't want to shine
Better days around the corner
But your running out of time
[Bridge]
Negative thinking has got my mind sinking
I wonder if the pain will ever stop
You gotta try to and look ahead
that's what the people always say
But am i ever gonna make it to the top
Will i drop
So I'm a keep going
'Cause i gotta keep showing
That i know a better day will always come
And then i know that i can make it
When i see the clouds breaking
'Cause they tell me the battling is done for the sun
Check it out
[Chorus]
Sometimes
When you feel that you can't go on
You gotta give it what you got
Even though its not a lot
Never think that your the only one
well well well
Sometimes
When you know there's a better day
You gotta pick yourself up
With a little bit of luck
You can chase the blues away
well well well
When the world is on your shoulders
Don't let it get you down
You gotta pull yourself together
Coz your time will come around
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
But your running out of time
And you can't expect a miracle
Look and you will find
That everything is beautiful
[Chorus: x 3]
And the sun don't want to shine
Better days around the corner
But your running out of time
[Bridge]
Negative thinking has got my mind sinking
I wonder if the pain will ever stop
You gotta try to and look ahead
that's what the people always say
But am i ever gonna make it to the top
Will i drop
So I'm a keep going
'Cause i gotta keep showing
That i know a better day will always come
And then i know that i can make it
When i see the clouds breaking
'Cause they tell me the battling is done for the sun
Check it out
[Chorus]
Sometimes
When you feel that you can't go on
You gotta give it what you got
Even though its not a lot
Never think that your the only one
well well well
Sometimes
When you know there's a better day
You gotta pick yourself up
With a little bit of luck
You can chase the blues away
well well well
When the world is on your shoulders
Don't let it get you down
You gotta pull yourself together
Coz your time will come around
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
But your running out of time
And you can't expect a miracle
Look and you will find
That everything is beautiful
[Chorus: x 3]

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
