@[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.
All of you deserve death for forgetting we want peace
An obsessive cesspool bathing in Burger King grease
The poor are doomed to continue falling in the crease
Never with a chance to get their own piece
You sit idly while obeying corrupt priests
You're waiting anxiously for a phony press release
Censoring every action fearing the secret police
Viewing poverty as a conversation piece
Selfishly striving for a fake golden fleece
I can only pray we can make you obsolete
You're waiting anxiously for a phony press release
Censoring every action fearing the secret police
Viewing poverty as a conversation piece
Selfishly striving for a fake golden fleece
For the future to escape a now gloomy fate
We will now begin to re-educate
Re-educate
We will rebuild the culture you attempt to desecrate
Blindly allowing the unemployment rate
To grow higher, you turn ambition to an idle state
This restless generation slowly becoming more irate
You force your views into every political debate
Making sex something only used to procreate
Your fucking views aim only to sedate
The ambition
The ambition within this state
We will rise and kill your brainless hate
We will not stand for a fucking police state
Your sole concern, your bank rate
Until we get our clean slate, fuck you
We will never be your running mate
Until you realize power in us is something great
Our emancipation
An obsessive cesspool bathing in Burger King grease

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,
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/

Amazing

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.
