Sharp as teeth and stars
I can't give you up
Like a moth to light
Move like caramel
Till dawn
You glow
Soon be nothing
Of this world
Soon be nothing
Breathe back into life
Stabs at happiness
Now we're having fun
Hold tight don't look down
Till dawn
You glow
I can't give you up
Like a moth to light
Move like caramel
Till dawn
You glow
Soon be nothing
Of this world
Soon be nothing
Breathe back into life
Stabs at happiness
Now we're having fun
Hold tight don't look down
Till dawn
You glow

@[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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Drug trip? Overdose?! Once again I understand somebody possibly seeing it as a song about drugs but really in the context of Goldfrapp for me most of their songs are about emotions. Not about sex or drugs. Their lyrics are like poetry, using metaphors and the like to express an emotion.
This song for me represents giving something another chance. Not looking back, just giving happiness another go. "Breathing new life" into a once sour situation. The "sharp as teeth and stars" symbolizing the yearning and desperation to give in again. And once that happens finally glowing in the joy of this reunion.
I can see both interpretations, and Alison herself has said her favorite part of music is releasing it and letting us interpret it. I do find they are usually about emotions. I think if the drug reference was a little more solid in the song, I'd say she's using the drug reference in a metaphor for making this decision that danslesbois is hinting at. Although its presumably about a relationship with a person (because of the word "you" in the second line, it could be about anything. One thing is for sure, there is an optimistic tone, like it will be better this time.
