@[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.
Won't you light me up in smoke,
Or maybe tell a different joke?
'Cause you keep on hearing the same old stupid joke
I'm not laughing now
Hope you're not laughing now,
'Cause I'm not laughing
Won't you slam that bottle down,
Or maybe smash it upon your crown?
You'll still be queen, with moves like yours...you're just so mean sometimes
You can't carry on like you carried on last night
'Cause you had me running out of my mind in all the plight
And you don't know what I had to do just to avoid a fight
You can't carry on like you carried on last night
I'm not laughing now
Hope you're not laughing now,
'Cause I'm not laughing now
I'm not laughing now
Or maybe tell a different joke?
'Cause you keep on hearing the same old stupid joke
I'm not laughing now
Hope you're not laughing now,
'Cause I'm not laughing
Won't you slam that bottle down,
Or maybe smash it upon your crown?
You'll still be queen, with moves like yours...you're just so mean sometimes
You can't carry on like you carried on last night
'Cause you had me running out of my mind in all the plight
And you don't know what I had to do just to avoid a fight
You can't carry on like you carried on last night
I'm not laughing now
Hope you're not laughing now,
'Cause I'm not laughing now
I'm not laughing now
