@[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.
I'm feeling what I want to feel
I'm saying what I've said all along
Because I know the things that are important to me
Because life is too short to be long
And those thoughts
That I've kept inside
With those words
That I could not hide
Before those times that always remind me
That all I ever did was try
So change your tune one step to make a stand
I want to speak my mind start my own African tribe
I'm alone now, run into the deepest pile of shit
Cause that's where I'm going to blend in, go!
Those choices that I've never made
With those decisions that once cut me a break
Cause after all what's left in the end
There's somethings that they just can't take
So take a bow
Well you're not that great
Go pat your back
Go off and masturbate
'Cause one thing that you know for sure
Your hand is not a lonesome date
I'm saying what I've said all along
Because I know the things that are important to me
Because life is too short to be long
And those thoughts
That I've kept inside
With those words
That I could not hide
Before those times that always remind me
That all I ever did was try
So change your tune one step to make a stand
I want to speak my mind start my own African tribe
I'm alone now, run into the deepest pile of shit
Cause that's where I'm going to blend in, go!
Those choices that I've never made
With those decisions that once cut me a break
Cause after all what's left in the end
There's somethings that they just can't take
So take a bow
Well you're not that great
Go pat your back
Go off and masturbate
'Cause one thing that you know for sure
Your hand is not a lonesome date

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,
