@[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.
I don't know what I was thinking when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
But she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her
I don't even think she knows how she moves me
I can't explain it but she does something to me
If she ever looked she'd see right through me
And I don't think that I could keep my cool
I could tell her that I want to get to know her
Take her the places that I'd really like to show her
But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her
And I don't think he's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been living in why head like a recurring dream
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her
She lives in my head from the start of my day til the night
And every word that she says I'm hanging onto so tight
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said could you need much more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been reigning in my head like a pouring storm
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her
Like a soul in the wind I've been lost since the day I found her
What I'd give to be everything she needs like the air around her
Got my arms open wide wish she knew they belong around her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
But she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her
I don't even think she knows how she moves me
I can't explain it but she does something to me
If she ever looked she'd see right through me
And I don't think that I could keep my cool
I could tell her that I want to get to know her
Take her the places that I'd really like to show her
But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her
And I don't think he's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been living in why head like a recurring dream
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her
She lives in my head from the start of my day til the night
And every word that she says I'm hanging onto so tight
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said could you need much more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about

Got my arms open wide wish she knew they belong around her

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
