He certainly did earn that reputation.
When you're smoking tin foil in the morning
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you
Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands
This land is a young land, let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into
Something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive
You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With aluminium
The cling and a clang is the metal in my head when I walk
I hear a sort of, this tinging noise
Cling clang, the cling clang
So many things happen while walking
The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought is just clogged up, totally clogged up
So we need to unplug these dams and make the natural flow
It sort of freaks me out
We need to unplug the dams
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought with a cling and a clang
And wake me up again until
We're aluminium
You hold it in your hands
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you
Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands
This land is a young land, let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into
Something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive
You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With aluminium
The cling and a clang is the metal in my head when I walk
I hear a sort of, this tinging noise
Cling clang, the cling clang
So many things happen while walking
The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought is just clogged up, totally clogged up
So we need to unplug these dams and make the natural flow
It sort of freaks me out
We need to unplug the dams
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought with a cling and a clang
And wake me up again until
We're aluminium
You hold it in your hands
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again

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?

@[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.
Namioki is right and Tylercwxzy i'm actually freaked out of drugs and THANK YOU velouria91 you are correct
