@[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.
Have you ever felt like, you the only one in love in your relationship?
And as hard as it was to let go, you knew it was the best thing for you
Well that time has come for me, I gotta move on
You say you wanna get married, but boy are you sure
Cause there are a couple of issues I refuse to ignore
You say one thing, and you do another
And I'm realizing you don't want me on your shoulder
You think material things is what I need
But all I ever wanted was you
Just a little kiss, just a little hug
Now I'm realizing that that ain't your kinda love
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
You're not changing and I know that you love me but
This thing ain't going the way I planned
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
As bad as I want you to stay
We can't keep going on this way
Going this way
Don't think you're doing me no favors
Feeling the need to get on one knee
When you know you ain't right baby
You wanna make sure I'm always around
And with the ring on my finger
That means I'm on right now
I see it in your eyes you weren't
There's a good chance you doing some dirt
Cause I don't wanna be the one
To make you do something you don't want to
I'm gonna let you do you
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
You're not changing and I know that you love me but
This thing isn't going the way I planned
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
As bad as I want you to stay
We can't keep going on this way
Going this way
See there's a part of me
That doesn't want you here with me
That's a part of me
That wants to stick right with you
But it seems like you don't wanna put up a fight
And why should I even try?
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
You're not changing and I know that you love me but
This thing isn't going the way I planned
Sometimes we want things
That might not be right for us
But when you're in love
You tend to look over the obvious
As bad as I want you to stay

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
