@[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.
I threw a bottle in the air and it smashed into a thousand pieces on the concrete street,
Where the children play in bare feet
We ran as fast as we could, cause I might have woke the neighborhood
Oh I don't feel too good, no I don't feel too good at all
'Cause when the sun comes up and the children wake, get on the street to play,
I'll be the one to blame
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
It didn't last too long, no I passed out, woke up and the guilt was gone
Without a care I walk down the stairs, into the kitchen eat my breakfast there
Turn on the television screen,
Emergency News Team
Little girl crying on the street saying "glass made my feet bleed"
Oh tell me what am I gonna do
I'm for sure done
What am I gonna do,
I have no choice but to run
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
Change my name and move to Mexico
Dye my hair red and get surgery on my nose
Buy a small condo, stay low in Mexico
Don't it sound so sweet, get a wife and raise a family
Start my own limousine company
Stay low in Mexico
It never snows in Mexico
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
Where the children play in bare feet
We ran as fast as we could, cause I might have woke the neighborhood
Oh I don't feel too good, no I don't feel too good at all
'Cause when the sun comes up and the children wake, get on the street to play,
I'll be the one to blame
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
I'm a criminal, I'm a criminal
It didn't last too long, no I passed out, woke up and the guilt was gone
Without a care I walk down the stairs, into the kitchen eat my breakfast there

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
excellent story telling :)
my favorite song off the album. :]
