@[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.

In my neighborhood,
When shots go off,
No one bothers.
A POP, and a reply POP, and no reply
Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore
With a girl.
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl
Gives her man great ideas.
Hears you tell your friends,
Hey man, listen to my great idea!
It's true I am a villain
When you fall ill,
that's probably because
Men never can be.
Not like a girl.
A classic girl,
Such a classic girl
They may say, Those were the days,,
But in a way,
You know for us these are the days.
Yes, for us these are the days
And you know you're my girl!
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl
Yeah for us these are the days
In my neighborhood,
When shots go off,
No one bothers.
A POP, and a reply POP, and no reply
Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore
With a girl.
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl
Gives her man great ideas.
Hears you tell your friends,
Hey man, listen to my great idea!
It's true I am a villain
When you fall ill,
that's probably because
Men never can be.
Not like a girl.
A classic girl,
Such a classic girl
They may say, Those were the days,,
But in a way,
You know for us these are the days.
Yes, for us these are the days
And you know you're my girl!
Such a classic girl,
Such a classic girl
Yeah for us these are the days

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.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I know this is not the best known JA song, but I really can just dig on this anytime anywhere. It reminds me of a woman I was in love with who came just close enough to me to break my heart slowly and sweetly. How lame is that?
I got this album when it first came out..before they temporarily banned the cover art...and although I was probably a sophomore in high school, I never had been in love. I swear to god, that is how it felt 3 years later when I finally did. This is the best musical example of falling in love with an angel I have ever heard.
This song is so chill, I love it.
The whole mood of this song is so beautiful. I can't stop myself from thinking that Perry Farrell is actually singing about a perfect girl. Ever since hearing this I have been looking for a someone I could call a classic girl.
this is one of the most perfect, beautiful lovesongs ever, it is right up there with Crush by the 'Pumpkins and Just like Heaven by the Cure
This is such a cool song. It is about Casey Niccoli.
And unfortunately Perry and Casey split up a long time ago.<br />
I love this line...
They may say, \"Those were the days...,\" but in a way, you know for us these are the days
That line actually made me think about life differently.
ITHACA this song is ithaca in the summer time
Well ... I really liked the song when my boyfriend played it for me! Now he has suggested it as a wedding song, I really wasn't sure what I thought of the song (meaning)... but after reading some of the comments .... I guess it is perfect!!!!!!! Thanks :)
Such a classic girl, gives her man a great idea Hears you tell your friends, "Hey man, why don't you listen to my great idea!"
I love this line...funny and so true.
