This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
There's a cold piece of pizza in the fridge if you want it
A stale glass of beer on the table by the playboys
Did you see miss march? god, she looks so young
This single life, it sure is fun
Well we could go to the lounge at the holiday inn
Hear my favorite band play the latest michael jackson
Song about a boy with a really nice bike
This single life, it sure is fun
We'll snort some cocaine in the bathroom by the condom dispenser
Talk about the barmaid, hey I hear she'll take her pants off
If you drive a camaro. life just seems better
This single life, it sure is fun
Well I am still a young man
It's really pretty cool
My friends they're old and married
What a bunch of stupid fools
We'll meet some chicks at the bar and collect all our pennies
We'll stumble to our cars and we'll drive real fast to denny's
I'll put my hand up her skirt
We'll eat a couple grand slams
This single life, it sure is fun
Well in the morning when you wake up, there's a dental hygenist
Lying in your bed. she really thinks you're a dentist
You said you'd give her a job
And you'd take her to see snoop doggy dogg's gun collection
This single life, it sure is fun
Well there's a cold piece of pizza in the fridge if you want it
A bottle of aspirin on the table by the playboys
Did you see miss April? God I feel so old
This single life, it sure is fun
A stale glass of beer on the table by the playboys
Did you see miss march? god, she looks so young
This single life, it sure is fun
Well we could go to the lounge at the holiday inn
Hear my favorite band play the latest michael jackson
Song about a boy with a really nice bike
This single life, it sure is fun
We'll snort some cocaine in the bathroom by the condom dispenser
Talk about the barmaid, hey I hear she'll take her pants off
If you drive a camaro. life just seems better
This single life, it sure is fun
Well I am still a young man
It's really pretty cool
My friends they're old and married
What a bunch of stupid fools
We'll meet some chicks at the bar and collect all our pennies
We'll stumble to our cars and we'll drive real fast to denny's
I'll put my hand up her skirt
We'll eat a couple grand slams
This single life, it sure is fun
Well in the morning when you wake up, there's a dental hygenist

@[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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
