This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Yeah
The First Time I Saw You Darling I Knew I Was In Love
Tell Her Daddy
The Way You Took Your Wheelchair Up That Handicap Ramp
Mmm, It's A Mind Blower
But Now Baby I Miss Ya I Miss Ya
I Miss All The Times We Played Marco Polo In The Pool
Oh Yeah
Hide And Go Seek Beneath The Sheets
Oh Yeah
And Just The Smell Of The Oil In Your Wheelchair
I Remember The Day I Saw You Hobbling
A Weeble Wobbling You Had A Problem
You Didn't Have Any Legs Just A Smile And Some Stumps
No Smelly Feet A Torso To Hump
No Baby Love Yeah That's What We'd Be Making
Ride You Like A Sit And Spin Until Your Stumps Started Aching
Spin You Around Yeah Roll You Nearyeah
Turn You Upside Down To Hold My Beer
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same Oh Baby
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same
They Say Nothing Beats A Great Pair Of Legs But Somehow
Baby The Day You Walked Out Of My Life There's Nothing
I Wanted More Than, Than For You To Come Crawling Back To Me
When We Started Going Together People Said They Couldn't Believe It
That I Could Be So Happy With A Quadriplegic
We Would Wake Up Real Early And You Could Make Me Some Eggs Mmm
Girl I Didn't Care If You Ain't Got No Legs
I Loved You For You And You Loved Me For Me Oh Yeah
Wasn't Really Hard For Those More Fortunate To See
That The First Time We Made Love It Was Such A Wonderful Feeling
The Way The Suspension Wires Held You 'Cross The Ceiling
When You Rolled Out Of My Life
My Heart Just Broke
I Can Still Hear The Noise Of The Squeaks In Your Spokes
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same Oh Baby
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same
The First Time I Saw You Darling I Knew I Was In Love
Tell Her Daddy
The Way You Took Your Wheelchair Up That Handicap Ramp
Mmm, It's A Mind Blower
But Now Baby I Miss Ya I Miss Ya
I Miss All The Times We Played Marco Polo In The Pool
Oh Yeah
Hide And Go Seek Beneath The Sheets
Oh Yeah
And Just The Smell Of The Oil In Your Wheelchair
I Remember The Day I Saw You Hobbling
A Weeble Wobbling You Had A Problem
You Didn't Have Any Legs Just A Smile And Some Stumps
No Smelly Feet A Torso To Hump
No Baby Love Yeah That's What We'd Be Making
Ride You Like A Sit And Spin Until Your Stumps Started Aching
Spin You Around Yeah Roll You Nearyeah
Turn You Upside Down To Hold My Beer
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same Oh Baby
You Ain't Got No Legs But I Love You Just The Same
They Say Nothing Beats A Great Pair Of Legs But Somehow
Baby The Day You Walked Out Of My Life There's Nothing
I Wanted More Than, Than For You To Come Crawling Back To Me

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
i think this song is about havinmg no legs and that the shher ingenuios of this song merks the self intellect of the Kobe Bryant when he fucks himself when he watches norwegian super models fuck grandmothers, because he has no legs after Bill Clinton assaisinated Billy Joe Armstrong because he made a rpa song released on def Jam about a trap called love adn the shit was shizzle bizzle lizards even ate it because the american poie devourded the power hour in the shower after the anus pained us because he got anal from Eddie Guerrerra because he shot himself with drugs he bought from Ray Charleston when he lived in Europe but the oriental bastards ate the plate of hate because jay mick ronney wouldnt date mitt ormney so they wouldnt have harcxore sex in the shower and th hoeky pokey was playing and george burns was filming it all and then he droppped the tape with all the secret CIA secrets and scooby doo thought i was a scooby snack and ate it all up because shaggy was shagging a shaggy shaginator because austin powers wasnt shagging because Dr. Evil ate up his member because it was so smalkl because mr. Lief ate yo mama's pussy os dr. evil didnt have anthing to watch mike myers get horny at because he was a transvestite and the plastic surgeon removed his hormone machine maker that the goverment injected in him, or at least thats what dr. phil said, because giant catterpillars infested his brain, buit they wouldve eaten his heart but the tapeworms and monica lewinsky were already there because monica lewinksy shot ill slincton beacues se she descoverfd he was a homosexual after bioll clinton fucked ashton ktucher doggystyle
