Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ooh:ooh:mmm:mmm:yeah:hey:
On, no
Na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah:ah:ah:yeah:yeah:
Just to feel your body, your sensual desire
You know my heart goes crazy when your tender lips touch mine
Let's explore our love and the candlelight and wine
We'll leave the world behind, baby
[Girl, do you believe] In the miracle of love
[Would you try and see] I'm the one you're dreamin' of
[Baby, close your eyes] Let the fantasy become real
Oh, yeah (Will I)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl
Like I want to rock you (Like I want to rock you) [Please] (Stay with me, baby)
Stay till the mornin', baby, let me know
That you want me too [I want to rock you, baby] (I want to rock you, baby)
Can you feel me, baby, 'cause I'm comin' from the heart
You're such a sexy lady, ooh, just tell me where to start
I'll make sweet, sweet love like you never felt before
And give you so much more, hey, hey
[When you need a friend] I will come to you
[You just tell me when] Girl, that's all you got to do
[Let me be your man] I will be your pleasure
[Anytime] Anytime (Anytime you need)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl
Like I want to rock you (Ooh, don't you want to stay with me, girl) [Do you want to stay]
Stay till the mornin', baby (Yeah), let me know
That you want me too (Ooh, girl, I want you to stay with me, yeah)

@[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,

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.
