@[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.
Sure baby we could be friends
Slow dance, romance, back rubs, hiked up slowly
That's us rolling in the meadow when we do it all
Slow dance, romance, back rubs, hiked up slowly
That's us rolling in the meadow when we do it all
Quite possibly we could be one
Just you and me so why just be friends?
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Take off your coat)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(That's what I wanna do)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Baby kick off your shoes)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Let's be more than just friends)
Girl just relax, I know we just started talking
Girl I can't help but to think of how we'd be
We could sail the seven seas like it was a dream
We could climb the highest mountain
If you know what I mean or just chill
And watch a movie or the TV
Baby you just got to trust I promise you'll see
Stop, drop your fears, baby come get with me
Give me your tears, I got the remedy
Take down your shield, I'm not the enemy
Girl I just wanna be the only one who can make you happy
Baby come close, I want to feel your body
Take it slow, ain't gotta follow nobody
We can't go wrong, baby just think about it
Sure baby we could be friends
Slow dance, romance, back rubs, hiked up slowly
That's us rolling in the meadow when we do it all
Slow dance, romance, back rubs, hiked up slowly
That's us rolling in the meadow when we do it all
Quite possibly we could be one
Just you and me so why just be friends
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Take off your coat)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(That's what I wanna do)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Baby kick off your shoes)
And all you gotta do is take it off
(Let's be more then just friends)
I don't want to move you fast
But girl I'm ready, no pressure girl
Just sit back and let it in
If I'm rushing baby girl just let me know
It ain't no thing for me to take it slow
I ain't trying to make you feel uncomfortable
But I can't help feeling like you're the one I'm looking for
Stop, drop your fears, baby come get with me
Give me your tears, I got the remedy
Take down your shield, I'm not the enemy
Girl I just wanna be the only one who can make you happy
Baby come close, I want to feel your body
Take it slow, ain't gotta follow nobody
We can't go wrong, baby just think about it

Now I know that love has failed you many times before
But I'm trying to make you see that the only one is me
So forget the other guys, you dated long ago
And just let your mind be free, let's be more then just friends
Slow dance, romance, back rubs, hiked up slowly
That's us rolling in the meadow when we do it all

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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,
