@[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.
Burning down
We can't stop it
We gotta get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever
Don't try
To turn this around on me
I'm the one that saved you
This was my home
This was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard
The sirens begin to chime
I can feel my heart begin to race
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I threw you over my shoulder
With the angel
On my other
I'm not your hero
I'll never be
What you wanted
What you thought I would be
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
My sickness controls me
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of deceit)
And there you were
Six years old, ashes in your hair
You're not scared
You've seen so much pain in so few years
As the world
Becomes a place where no one wants to stay
We remain
Silent until it's too late
And as I see
The planes take over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way (and you're burning)
I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly)
My sickness controls me (I know in my heart)
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)
We can't stop it
We gotta get out
Start again
The memories are gone forever
Don't try
To turn this around on me
I'm the one that saved you
This was my home
This was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard
The sirens begin to chime
I can feel my heart begin to race
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I threw you over my shoulder
With the angel
On my other
I'm not your hero
I'll never be
What you wanted
What you thought I would be
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes
My sickness controls me
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of deceit)
And there you were
Six years old, ashes in your hair
You're not scared
You've seen so much pain in so few years
As the world
Becomes a place where no one wants to stay
We remain
Silent until it's too late
And as I see
The planes take over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end
I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way (and you're burning)
I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly)
My sickness controls me (I know in my heart)
Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)
Is the mother of deceit
(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)

Mountain Song

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."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Oh and verse 1:
