@[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.
Trying to press
What you might be feeling
Why suppress
What you might be needing
You missed the moon on Monday morning
You were lying in your sin
You missed the moon on Monday morning
Because you don't mean anything to anyone, anymore
Why confess
Well you wouldn't need to
Because on your desk
There's more to be seen to
By the time just keep on ticking
Until I get my sweet release
By the time just keep on winding
Until this cold-stop has ceased
And everyone can see the sun
I've send underwater, slept with your daughter
She told me what your rule book read
I've been to the slaughter, slept with your daughter
So won't you let me have my head
And then I can see the sun
You missed the moon on Monday morning
You were lying in your sin
You missed the moon on Monday morning
Because you don't mean anything to anyone, anymore
By the time just keep on ticking
Until I get my sweet release
And down this road I'll keep on winding
Until this cold-stop has ceased
And everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
I've send underwater, slept with your daughter
She told me what your rule book read
I've been to the slaughter, slept with your daughter
So won't you let me have my head
And then I can see the sun
What you might be feeling
Why suppress
What you might be needing
You missed the moon on Monday morning
You were lying in your sin
You missed the moon on Monday morning
Because you don't mean anything to anyone, anymore
Why confess
Well you wouldn't need to
Because on your desk
There's more to be seen to
By the time just keep on ticking
Until I get my sweet release
By the time just keep on winding
Until this cold-stop has ceased
And everyone can see the sun
I've send underwater, slept with your daughter
She told me what your rule book read
I've been to the slaughter, slept with your daughter
So won't you let me have my head
And then I can see the sun
You missed the moon on Monday morning
You were lying in your sin
You missed the moon on Monday morning
Because you don't mean anything to anyone, anymore
By the time just keep on ticking
Until I get my sweet release
And down this road I'll keep on winding
Until this cold-stop has ceased
And everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
Everyone can see the sun
I've send underwater, slept with your daughter
She told me what your rule book read
I've been to the slaughter, slept with your daughter
So won't you let me have my head
And then I can see the sun

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,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Just one complaint...they should go straight to the main riff (the one that starts at 0:50) after the bass intro. Why beat around the bush?
