@[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.
Lips like sugar
Sugar box
Since the day you walked into my dream
I have felt an older side revealed
Taking me and standing way above
Making me dishonest with your love
Oo! 'Cause I was always far to lonely to believe
You could want me back now
Prey
Oh! And it was always second chances I received
Don't you want me back now
Prey
Learning sometimes takes a little time
Holding out and hoping that it's mine
Falling out and falling in between
Turn myself around myself I see
Oh! 'Cause I was always far to lonely to believe
You could want me back now
Prey
Oh! And it was always second chances I received
Don't you want me back now
Ah sugar box
Lips like sugar
Sugar, sugar box
Aah lips like sugar
Sugar box
Burning with the hurting of a child
Crying out and hoping that it's mine
Sliding out and drifting on away
I've turn myself around once in this game
Oh! 'Cause I was always far to lonely to believe
You could want me back now
Prey, prey
Oh! and it was always second chances I received
Don't you want me back now
Ah ah ah ah sugar box
Aah she had lips like sugar
Sugar box
She said
Lips like sugar
Sugar Box!
Sugar box
Since the day you walked into my dream

Oh! And it was always second chances I received
Don't you want me back now

Learning sometimes takes a little time

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,
