Oh randy, if they knew.
I think they'd take me away
Just for loving you, you.
All alone in my own quiet way
'Cause that's the way that I want it.
Wish I could see you now,
You and your cherry black eyes.
My heart would never lie down, down,
'Cause that's the way my arrow flies,
And that's the way that I want it.
You never said it would rain.
You only told me that the sun would come again.
You never said it would rain.
Oh randy if you did,
It wouldn't mean a thing.
It wouldn't hurt me a bit,
'Cause only you can break my wings,
And that's the way that I want it.
You drew my face in the sand,
And ever since that day you made me what I am.
You drew my face in the sand.
Oh randy if I could,
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To live with you for good.
'Cause that's the way I'd like to live,
And that's the way that I want it.
Randy, oh my randy.
Randy, oh my randy.
Randy, oh my randy.
I think they'd take me away
Just for loving you, you.
All alone in my own quiet way
'Cause that's the way that I want it.
Wish I could see you now,
You and your cherry black eyes.
My heart would never lie down, down,
'Cause that's the way my arrow flies,
And that's the way that I want it.
You never said it would rain.
You only told me that the sun would come again.
You never said it would rain.
Oh randy if you did,
It wouldn't mean a thing.
It wouldn't hurt me a bit,
'Cause only you can break my wings,
And that's the way that I want it.
You drew my face in the sand,
And ever since that day you made me what I am.
You drew my face in the sand.
Oh randy if I could,
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To live with you for good.
'Cause that's the way I'd like to live,
And that's the way that I want it.
Randy, oh my randy.
Randy, oh my randy.
Randy, oh my randy.

@[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,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
it is about a forbidden love.... randy does mean horny ..... cat is the greatest song/writer ever
I’ve wondered about the meaning of this song since i heard it, shortly after the Cat Stevens album, Back to Earth, came out (the last album before he became known as Yusef). Stevens had already converted to Islam by this time.
The lyrics to Randy are enigmatic; the subject of the song is not identified as to gender. Randi is a common way to spell the name for a girl; that’s not written in stone.
The early, problematic verse is “if they knew i think they’d take me away, just for loving you, all alone in my own quiet way, ‘cause that’s the way that i want it.” This does not make sense for a heterosexual love affair unless the family objects to the suitor for any speculative reason. However, the prospect that it is a gay love affair has to be a possible interpretation.
That being said, even though the artist is speaking in the first person, it shouldn’t be assumed Stevens is coming out as gay or bisexual. (All the love affairs in his previous songs are with females, e.g., “I’m looking for a hard headed woman,” etc. However, he ~may~ be stating that if one is gay, it’s OK. Gay love is not sanctioned anywhere in Islam.
