@[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.
We're professional punkers, we come from the suburbs, after 15 years we're still havin' fun
Now we're over 30, not lookin' so pretty, at least we got a beat up accordian
That's Erik our drummer, his father's a plumber, he drank enough booze to get Rhode Island drunk
Now sober but smelly he's got one big belly from livin' the good life provided by punk
Singin', singin', singin'
Buy me a Becks beer or pass me a bong
Gimmie some Bushmills, I'll sing you this song
Open another big box of cheap wine
We're over 30, we're doin' just fine
El Hefe's not satanic, he's one hip hispanic, he grew up with one dozen cousins and kin
He wears baggy pants, he knows how to break dance
You've seen him do every impersonation
Well, blow me down Alec
Oh oh, gi gi gi gi
Give it some megatroid, it's certain, half even
Father, that's Melvin on six string, some tell me I can't sing
Oh, I think you can, just don't do it round me
Stick with what you know, playing guitar solo
With Hetson and Watt in punk Karaoke
Singin', singin', singin'
Buy me a Becks beer or pass me a bong
Gimmie some Bushmills, I'll sing you this song
Open another
Big box of cheap wine
We're over 30
We're doin' just fine
My name is Fat Mike, I'm obsessed with big lesbians
I've been a punk rocker
For most of my life
I sing kinda flat, I'm not really so fat
But that's how I hit them
With hook or a slice
I'm Kent, I do sound, look he's getting so round
I'm Timmy the Turtle, he counts as he clicks
I'm Jay, I don't care, someone please cut his hair
I'm Limo
From Scotland
So give me haggis
Singin' (x3)
(Ohoh)
Buy me a Becks beer or pass me a bong
(Pass me a bong)
Gimmie some Bushmills, I'll sing you this song
(Sing you this song)
Open another
Big box of cheap wine
(Cheap wine)
We're over 30
We're doin' just fine
(Fine, fine)
Buy me a Becks beer or pass me a bong
(Fill in my dues)
Gimmie some Bushmills, I'll sing you this song
(Seven at once)
Buy me a quaalide or chop me a line
We're pushin' 40, we're doin'
Just fine
(Fine) (x2)
Give me a casual or pass me a bong
Give me Glen Lebbit, I'll sing you this song
Open another big box of cheap wine
If you take the lower then I'll take the high
Now we're over 30, not lookin' so pretty, at least we got a beat up accordian

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
The impersonation goes, "Heavens to Murgatroid, its eric melvin even!"
what an awesome song.. i think the best is the guitar solo in it but all around a great song
yeah the solo in this rocks, but this is just the best way to end a fucking brilliant album. kickass. anyways, that's what i think...
to see this song live was hilarious. when melvin pulls out an accordian and begins to play it, i almost died. i saw them at warped this year, but eric had to go to a funeral, so they had drummers from other bands fill his shoes. they had a guy named rory for this song and they changed eric's verse on the fly...needless to say it was very scary
The last line is wrong; it should be "If you take the low road then I'll take the high"
i love this song, simple as that :)
this is the band's very amusing attempt to make fun of themselves
"they had a guy named rory for this song"
The guy your talking about is Rory Koff, he's in No Use For A Name, another great band on Fat Wreck.
Another funny punkrock drinking party dancing song! One of my favorites by nofx.
"Newcastle" not "a casual" "Glenlivet" not "Glen Lebbit"
this song allways make me smile
