@[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.
When you're lonely,
darling show me,
what it means to be lost in a spooky land
like a scared mouse in a Ghost House
can't believe that there's something alive in here.
Oh Oh wont you
Kno....ow
how it feels
my skin peels
from the chills
Ghost piano plays
Get a sharp fright
in the dark night
when you hear walkin' feet on the second floor
there's a cold fire
by the vampire
Oh my God I'm so sure that those eyes just moved
Dawn's our only chance if we make it
if you see the light better take it
Cos all the Ghosts come out at night
and say God isn't it strange
we're scared when it's bright
If a zombie
takes you from me
walkin dead are upset they'll come back for you
no you can't hide from what's outside
as the door starts to creak guess what's coming in
No ...oh
let me
Go ...o
how it feels
my skin peels
from the chills
Ghost piano plays
Dawn's our only chance if we make it
if you see the light better take it
Cos all the Ghosts come out at night
and say God isn't it strange
we're scared when it's bright
When you're lonely,
darling show me,
what it means to be lost in a spooky land
like a scared mouse in a Ghost House
can't believe that there's something alive in here.
Oh Oh won't you
Kno....ow
how it feels
my skin peels
from the chills
Ghost piano plays
see five white knights at a ghost round table
eat food, drink wine, if they were only able baby
you came in they'd gone
No-one likes ghosts cos they do so well
clergy men cast them down to hell oh well they're
coming back for more
yeah, yeah.........

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
