@[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.
Hearts and flowers, forget love letters
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting for a guy like me
Debutantes and champagne, diamonds and cocaine
I ain't the son of outrageous fortune
Cash ain't status for a guy like me
Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on a big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me, just me
Long black limousine, pictures in magazines
All night parties, beautiful people
No super model for a guy like me
I'm just a good man, I work with my hands
I get the picture, I heard the message
Hell, ain't waiting for a guy like me
Put me on a cool river
Take my sins from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here, just me
Put me on a cool river
Take my pain from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here, just me
Yeah just me
Hearts and flowers, forget love letters
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting on a guy like me
So put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well there's no one here but me
Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me
Yeah, just me
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting for a guy like me
Debutantes and champagne, diamonds and cocaine
I ain't the son of outrageous fortune
Cash ain't status for a guy like me
Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on a big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me, just me
Long black limousine, pictures in magazines
All night parties, beautiful people
No super model for a guy like me
I'm just a good man, I work with my hands
I get the picture, I heard the message
Hell, ain't waiting for a guy like me
Put me on a cool river
Take my sins from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here, just me
Put me on a cool river
Take my pain from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here, just me
Yeah just me
Hearts and flowers, forget love letters
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting on a guy like me
So put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well there's no one here but me
Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me
Yeah, just me

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,

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
