Submission- My back hurts from bowing down.
Attraction - Was once so strong now can't be found.
Affection - One gift I wish you would return.
Frustration - as I accede.
I do not deserve your frigidness, such callousness,
yet I persist. What's wrong with me?
I told you "you can't be replaced",
you showed me I'm disposable.
Spit in my face, as I submit, so I quit!

    in my opinion, i see this song basically being about Zero Tolerance. It's like he was putting himself through so much shit to please someone and it's gotten to the point of FUCK THIS. We've all experienced it before, whether its a girl/boyfriend who treats you like shit, or a boss, or whatever. Davey is showing how you dont have to put up with shit.

    SPIT IN MY FACE AS I SUBMIT SO I QUIT! --> I do everything you say yet you still treat me shitty? FUCK THIS

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
