@[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.
Baby, baby, baby
No use in trying to save me
'Cause devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
So, blow me one last kiss
And wish me well, well
Love is like fingerprints
It don't wash away
I let mine all over you
I take the blame
Ask me how
Ask me what
Don't ask me why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
This world, it's cracked and crazy
Say one of your pretty prayers for me
No roles in the garden?
Or wishing well?
I don't know how
Don't know what
Don't know why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
That's what the water, that's what the water
Ask me how, ask me what, ask me why
Baby, baby, baby
There's no use in trying to save me
There's devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to our knees
That's what the water, that's what the water
No use in trying to save me
'Cause devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
So, blow me one last kiss
And wish me well, well
Love is like fingerprints
It don't wash away
I let mine all over you
I take the blame
Ask me how
Ask me what
Don't ask me why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
This world, it's cracked and crazy
Say one of your pretty prayers for me
No roles in the garden?
Or wishing well?
I don't know how
Don't know what
Don't know why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to your knees
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
That's what the water, that's what the water
Ask me how, ask me what, ask me why
Baby, baby, baby
There's no use in trying to save me
There's devil's in heaven
There's angels in hell
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water
That's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you bring to our knees
That's what the water, that's what the water

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
