@[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.
When all the lights go down
And when the final curtain falls
When there is nothing left to say
Eternity eventually will linger
Through abandoned halls
And leave us dark in disarray
The time has come for us
To almost serve the new day
Go down on bended knees and pray:
Victoriam speramus
Cantate tibi itam!
Concordiam optamus
Iuvate liberatem!
Victoriam speramus
Negate sub versorem!
Concordiam optamus nunc
One man???s piece of might
Might me another man???s despair
In these so enigmatic times
When some pray for redemptions
I hope they redeem themselve through prayer
To reach this all, this is your life (?)
The time has come for us
To almost serve the new day
Go down on bended knees and pray:
Victoriam speramus
Cantate tibi itam!
Concordiam optamus
Iuvate liberatem!
Victoriam speramus
Negate sub versorem!
Concordiam optamus nunc
The time has come for us
To almost serve the new day
Go down on bended knees and pray:
Victoriam speramus
Cantate tibi itam!
Concordiam optamus
Iuvate liberatem!
Victoriam speramus
Negate sub versorem!
Concordiam optamus
Victoriam speramus
Negate sub versorem!
Concordiam optamus nunc
And when the final curtain falls
When there is nothing left to say
Eternity eventually will linger
Through abandoned halls
And leave us dark in disarray
The time has come for us
To almost serve the new day
Go down on bended knees and pray:
Victoriam speramus
Cantate tibi itam!
Concordiam optamus
Iuvate liberatem!

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,
