@[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.
Cheers from a high school football game on American Friday night
A chorus of the 'Pledge Of Allegiance' as the Veteran's rewind the fight
The crowd roars, and the quarterback scores
The loosing side gets quiet
You can almost hear the heartbeat of an American Friday night
Hey, yeah, the girls lookin' pretty
Man, they're good to go
Boys tryin' to shine like stars on the city
Music on the radio
There ain't no place in the whole wide world that can feel so right
Yeah, yeah, an American Friday night
Good old boys, laughin', back slappin' on the other side of town
The long week behind 'em, couple beauties beside 'em
Yeah, there ain't no worries now
They all rock to ZZ Top, as the blown subwoofer pounds
Yeah, that's how good it sounds
And that's how good it sounds
Hey, yeah, the girl's lookin' pretty
Man they're good to go
Boys tryin' to shine like stars on the city
Music on the radio
There ain't no place in the whole wide world that can feel so right
Hey, yeah, an American Friday night
Yeah, yeah, an American Friday night
You wanna go to the movies?
Stay at home and order Dominos?
Flip a coin, baby you choose it
We can't loose, 'cause all I know...
Hey, hey, girl you're lookin' pretty
Man, I'm good to go
We're gonna shine like stars on the city
Songs on the radio
Ain't no place in the whole wide world that can feel this right
Yeah, yeah, an American Friday...
Oh, yeah, it's American Friday...
Oh, yeah, an American Friday night
A chorus of the 'Pledge Of Allegiance' as the Veteran's rewind the fight
The crowd roars, and the quarterback scores
The loosing side gets quiet
You can almost hear the heartbeat of an American Friday night
Hey, yeah, the girls lookin' pretty
Man, they're good to go
Boys tryin' to shine like stars on the city
Music on the radio
There ain't no place in the whole wide world that can feel so right
Yeah, yeah, an American Friday night
Good old boys, laughin', back slappin' on the other side of town
The long week behind 'em, couple beauties beside 'em
Yeah, there ain't no worries now

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."
