@[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.
simply slide in my sheets
and simply fall asleep
should she shatter my heart
and scatter these parts among these these shaded streets
in a shallow attempt to save her skin
then I simply wasn't shooting for stars
tell me again are you the reason I breathe
or why I die trying
and I reckon this weapon I yield
this is her reason for revenge
her chance to right the words that I wrote
her chance to take this from me
trust that I will find my way out
I'll cut the throat to my better half
and you can choose what you'd rather have
could my concern kill
a car crash in her body as she swallows each pill
kill her with kindness
count on clouds
to slow her down
and I reckon this weapon I yield
this is her reason for revenge
her chance to right the words that I wrote
her chance to take this from me
trust that I will find my way out
I'll cut the throat to my better half
and you can choose what you'd rather have
limp and lifeless
my body without it's frame
scream my name three times if you love me
it's the only way to save me
crows can't fly with comets girl
don't get caught in the current
and simply fall asleep
should she shatter my heart
and scatter these parts among these these shaded streets
in a shallow attempt to save her skin
then I simply wasn't shooting for stars
tell me again are you the reason I breathe
or why I die trying
and I reckon this weapon I yield
this is her reason for revenge
her chance to right the words that I wrote
her chance to take this from me
trust that I will find my way out
I'll cut the throat to my better half
and you can choose what you'd rather have
could my concern kill
a car crash in her body as she swallows each pill
kill her with kindness
count on clouds
to slow her down
and I reckon this weapon I yield
this is her reason for revenge
her chance to right the words that I wrote
her chance to take this from me
trust that I will find my way out
I'll cut the throat to my better half
and you can choose what you'd rather have
limp and lifeless
my body without it's frame
scream my name three times if you love me
it's the only way to save me
crows can't fly with comets girl
don't get caught in the current

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/

simply slide in my sheets and simply fall asleep should she shatter my heart and scatter these parts among these these shaded streets in a shallow attempt to save her skin then I simply wasn't shooting for stars tell me again are you the reason I breathe or why I die trying - So this guy obviously has doubts about the woman he's with. He lets her next to him but if she shatters his heart he'll just either make up the excuse that he wasn't shooting for stars anyway or he really wasn't shooting for the stars.
and I reckon this weapon I yield this is her reason for revenge her chance to right the words that I wrote her chance to take this from me trust that I will find my way out I'll cut the throat to my better half and you can choose what you'd rather have - I agree with winzip17 that the woman has some baggage that makes her act irrational. I feel like the weapon he's referring to is his kindness and the words are his compliments but either she doesn't believe his sincerity or something else. So she can take his innocence from him by trampling on his kindness. He vows he'll find a way out of this lunacy and he'll stop being the nice guy (cut the throat of his better half) and then she can choose if she wants the nice guy or the guy who says "fuck that."
could my concern kill a car crash in her body as she swallows each pill kill her with kindness count on clouds to slow her down - Here I think he asks himself if he is aiding her irrationality by being genuinely concerned. Perhaps the clouds signifies careless treatment. Maybe she's just used to abusive or unreliable relationships where she is treated less than kind.
limp and lifeless my body without it's frame scream my name three times if you love me it's the only way to save me - He's asking for her to reassure him that he's not out solo on this.
crows can't fly with comets girl don't get caught in the current - Idk, maybe he's referring to his statement before about not shooting for stars. He says, "Don't let me down and become a black bird. I saw a mockingbird and I don't want to see us swept away."
