@[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.
The love I lost
Was a sweet love
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never
Love again, ooh
I can remember planning
Building my whole world around you
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through
But something went wrong
We loved each other
We just couldn't get along
Take a good look at me
I'm in misery, can't you see?
The love I lost (the love, the love I lost)
Was a sweet love (yes it was)
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again, ooh
I can't remember nothing, no no no
But the good times we used to share, my love
I'm so sad and lonely
Without you, my life is so dead
I'm sorry to say
You go your way and I'll go my way
It hurts deep inside
The day we said goodbye, but
The love I lost (the love, the love I lost)
Was a sweet love (yes it was)
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost,
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again (I will never love again)
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I will never, no, no, never (never, never)
Love again, oh
Never, no, no, never
Love again (never, never, never)
Was a sweet love
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never
Love again, ooh
I can remember planning
Building my whole world around you
I can remember hoping
That you and I could make it on through
But something went wrong
We loved each other
We just couldn't get along
Take a good look at me
I'm in misery, can't you see?
The love I lost (the love, the love I lost)
Was a sweet love (yes it was)
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again, ooh
I can't remember nothing, no no no
But the good times we used to share, my love
I'm so sad and lonely
Without you, my life is so dead
I'm sorry to say
You go your way and I'll go my way
It hurts deep inside
The day we said goodbye, but
The love I lost (the love, the love I lost)
Was a sweet love (yes it was)
The love I lost
Was complete love
The love I lost,
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again (I will never love again)
I will never, no, no, never (never, no never)
Love again, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I will never, no, no, never (never, never)
Love again, oh
Never, no, no, never
Love again (never, never, never)

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,
