This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
"I pity all those without wings, may God have mercy on their souls,"
Said the crow perched on top of the CCTV camera pole
In their basement flat Wendy's husband is humping her from behind
But when he's not drinking he's really quite kind
When he's done she stands staring out at the stars
Wondering at the point of it all
The organist is all alone in church, rehearsing late, he'll make his way home soon,
God's gone AWOL from his heart like a deserter from his platoon
There was a woman once, she smelled of oranges and of rain
But crucified hands were jerking his chain
As he locks up and steps out into the dark
The night breaks out into a round of applause
The department store Santa Claus is too drunk to do up his flies,
"You've got to creep up on life," he says, "you go head on, all you get is lies.
Listen kid, I could've been someone but the laws of physics kept holding me back,
It's like life just wouldn't cut me no slack.
Messing up must just be written in my DNA.
I tell you, kid, it's tough, best you don't ever grow up"
I meet this hardcore girl at the Fatted Calf, I buy her a drink and we start to talk,
She's got some mileage on the clock, her make up's so heavy she can barely walk.
We click right away, a walking zero and a busted flush,
And we'd get married but I guess there's no rush,
She says "Hey, flirt, why don't you dream of me once in a while?"
And she squeezes my hand like it's the end of the world

@[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.
Gentle Hour

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,
