@[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.
Sugars got a space ship running on empty rifts
moving lovers undercover just like I said
in a phantom world spinning out of time
we just a sci-fi kids making dirty rimes
I never really saw myself as a the running kind
were just a digital brat with a insect mind
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars
Keen cars, living large, playing big guitars
Hackin' in, making holes, and it's not so hard
It’s just a extra part in a kid like me
Me
A Sci-fi kid like me
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you
moving lovers undercover just like I said
in a phantom world spinning out of time
we just a sci-fi kids making dirty rimes
I never really saw myself as a the running kind
were just a digital brat with a insect mind
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a sci-fi kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
were just a science-fiction kid like you
Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars
Keen cars, living large, playing big guitars
Hackin' in, making holes, and it's not so hard
It’s just a extra part in a kid like me
Me
A Sci-fi kid like me
were just a sci-fi kid like you

Were just a science-fiction kid like you
Were just a science-fiction kid like you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
sci-fi is awesome. my cat is named ender. this song is great!
I'm pretty sure the lyrics are: "Sugar's got a space ship running on empty rifts Moving lovers, undercover, just like I said In a phantom world spinning out of time We're just the sci-fi kids making dirty rhymes I never really saw myself as a the running kind I'm just a digital brat with an insect mind
I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, baby yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah
Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars Keen cars, living large, playing big guitars Hackin' in, making holes, and it's not so hard It’s just a extra pot in a kid like me Me Sci-fi kid like me
I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a sci-fi kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, yeah yeah
I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh I'm just a science-fiction kid like you, baby yeah, uh uh
uh uh, oh oh
I'm just a science-fiction kid like you"
Note that I said PRETTY sure, because I can't quite understand what he's saying past "Hackin' in, making holes, ..." So it could be hot, it could be hard, I have no idea.
Anyway, the song makes me think of "Ender's Game" as I think seemssogreen mentioned, but also sounds like a song about living in the digital age.
Either way, it's fantastic.
Agree with optifree's lyrics, except I think it is:
Just an extra part in a kid like me
Like he is a robot or some sci-fi creation. God, I love this song. So upbeat and a little bit twisted at the same time.
"Sugar's got a space ship tripping over dusty stars" I love that line! I can't really think how to explain what I think about this song..just the word it brings to my head. Curiosity. It's great : ]
