@[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.
[scratching: One People...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to live as one”
[Virtuoso]
Yo when all forms of payment and educations
Involve enslavement and degradation
This wasteful culture will kill us all
Neanderthals peeping how we live will be appalled
Hard ministration need to do some reflection
And make a vaccination for world wide infections
And let the most disprivileged of us
Rise from the dust it's a must we increase our trust
In foreign lands remember every war is planned
By the hands of the government there on some other shit
That they won't let us understand
But keep your selfish ways
Crime pays and the CIA needs a raise
The same energies flowing through the leaves of the seas
Going through you and me see we're O N E
Skin pigment separations
A figment of imagination
A plan regiment for domination
[scratching: One people...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to live as one”
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to be as one”
[Virtuoso]
You think acting devilish might settle this problem
Man how you going to erase hate with hate
That don't make no sense dollars so dense
Need to open you mind let some hope in your mind
Know that its time to show some respect and take a step
I know its hard but in time it will connect
Let's build a bridge over troubled waters
And teach out sons to love our daughters
Instead of guns and slaughter
Its clouds sun and water
Because nature don't hate ya
So why do you litter hit her and rape her
The fact of one molecular structure should settle the
Puncture put in our love our violent settlers
Focused I notice everything in my dimension
Like retired pension receivers who once believed in high ascension
Now they sitting by contemplating
Were they wrong for taking the stand for the freedom they all been craving
[scratching: One people...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
We got to live as one
Essentially one energy under the sun
We got to be as one
[Virtuoso]
Its trees leaves the waves from the seas
And aids the disease even the air we breathe
Mud blood slug shots from a slug by thugs
From the hub for the love of money and drugs
Say it's not what it was but a forward movements perpetual
I think that a timelines merely conceptual
It all remains the same they live with aimless brains
The name is changed but no pain no gain so stains
Our caskets to influence the masses
And the government smothers with hypnotic gases
Politicians make erotic passes
Youth die in the hottest clashes
But ones killed is not as fast as
Gun slingers who could lift you with one finger
Memories of a sun linger none's bringer
Who carry your flowers hand on the gun spraying showers
As one we trying to stand on the sun today is ours
[scratching: One people...]
“We got to live as one”
“We got to be as one”
“We got to live as one”
“We got to be as one”
“One... One... One..”

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,
Magical

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
