He certainly did earn that reputation.
C'mon polluted eyeballs
Stop scouting out the field
Jump up bright paper werewolves
And everybody everywhere
Anyone can scratch
And anyone can win
So bring out another batch
They want to get out of here
But they can't find the exit
They cling to the cinema
And they can't find security
Then they finally got recognized
So they left in obscurity and misery
Stop scouting out the field
Jump up bright paper werewolves
And everybody everywhere
Anyone can scratch
And anyone can win
So bring out another batch
They want to get out of here
But they can't find the exit
They cling to the cinema
And they can't find security
Then they finally got recognized
So they left in obscurity and misery

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[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.
It's obviously about being somewhere like a 7-11 with a hang-over (I'm guessing11am-noon on a Saturday) and staring at women and also noticing how quietly desperate the lives of the people around you are.
I'm trying to help you guys but you gotta meet me half-way.
