This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There you were on the floor cut up
And all alone I held you
Conceived in a chrome dream I was a crease
In the shirt that this world wears
'Til I met Blue, I was in obscurity he said
Loosen up who do you wanna be?
We could steal a car and listen to the stars
I can see you've choked on them too
Had enough of late night films
Just settle for an hour or two
Oh Blue, show me something new
Oh Blue, show me something new
Blue, I've got a question every time I hold you
Yeah, Blue, I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true
Spike danced for ten days long
We were just heading for the sun
You shot him down there's blood on my face
His heart's in the right place
What they gonna do to you
What they gonna do
Blue don't forget the word, I warned you
Oh, Blue don't let them push you don't let them destroy you
Meanwhile I'm searching with my brain blown eyes
See the world through my dirty lonely mixed up mind
And all alone I held you
Conceived in a chrome dream I was a crease
In the shirt that this world wears
'Til I met Blue, I was in obscurity he said
Loosen up who do you wanna be?
We could steal a car and listen to the stars
I can see you've choked on them too
Had enough of late night films
Just settle for an hour or two
Oh Blue, show me something new
Oh Blue, show me something new
Blue, I've got a question every time I hold you
Yeah, Blue, I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true
Spike danced for ten days long
We were just heading for the sun
You shot him down there's blood on my face
His heart's in the right place
What they gonna do to you
What they gonna do
Blue don't forget the word, I warned you
Oh, Blue don't let them push you don't let them destroy you
Meanwhile I'm searching with my brain blown eyes
See the world through my dirty lonely mixed up mind

@[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.

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 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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I wrote an five plus page analysis paper on this song in college. I researched it extensively. While I'm not positive about my conclusions, I looked into everything that has been said above, and I believe that it is about how drugs seemed great at first and then they ruin the narrator's life. In his addiction he kills someone and continues to blame the drug (who he has personified and calls by name) for his actions. Wild and free? I don't hear it. Mind blowing guitars and one of the most underrated Verve songs of all time I do hear. Who knows? I got a 98% on the paper!
My interpretation is that Blue is Richard's muse who he has a love/hate relationship with. He feels her inspiration for creativity but the path to it often is a troubling one.
You can also go with the drug reference and how Blue can make us all do things out of character.
I reckon it's about drugs: Blue, I've got a question everytime I swallow you
I'm hard placed to say person or drugs. I see it as a kind of state of mind: a life-defining era that's wild, free, young, with amazing friends and a load of drugs.
PS I get: "We could steal a car and listen to the stars I can see YOU CHOKE on them too Had enough of late night films Just CHILL for an hour or two"
Great track. One of the most underated verve songs.
Love the layered backwards guitar on this. Mind Blowing.
this song reminds me of my first dog, an english bulldog named shadow, died of old age.
"Blue, I've got a question every time I hold you Yeah, Blue, I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true
Spike danced for 10 days long We were just heading for the sun"
I'm positive this is a reference to Ecstasy. I've already commented on a few other early Verve songs and most of my interpretations refer to drugs (mainly E) but that's what I truly believe most of these songs are about, that being Ashcroft's experiences with E.
