@[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.
Out on the road for forty days
Last night in LA, put us in a haze
Sweet, sweet hottie, doin' his act
He stole the whole show and that's a natural fact
Up all night, he heard us sing
I got to tell you rock and roll is his thing
All those ladies, keepin him right
Let's hope that he can make it through the show tonight
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
Two dudes who meet us in Omaha
Was waiting for our band to return from the show
Feelin good, feelin right it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was out of sight
These fine boys, they had a plan
They were out to meet the girls in the band
They said, "come on babes, let's sing a song"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
We're an American Band
We're an American Band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party it down
We're an American Band
x3
We're an American Band, wooohoo
We're an American Band, wooohoo
We're an American Band, wooohoo

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,
