@[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.
She's a good old girl
A good old girl
She's lived too long and seen too much
All over scabs and scars and such
But she's a pretty girl
Kinda pretty girl
If you cock your head and squint
If you recognise the prints of space and time
Doing what they do
Shepherding her through
Space will slow her stride
Time will turn her tide
It's far too much to take
But my girl don't know when to break
So she'll make, she'll make her way
She's a good old girl
She'll fly true
Her structure's sound
Her clock is wound
Through mistreatment and neglect
She'll give whatever she's got left
And she's run aground
She's run aground
But on the weakest breath of wind
She'll up and navigate the din of love and light
Doing what they do
Shepherding her through
Truth will stem her pride
And time will turn her tide
It's far too much to take
But my girl don't know how to break
So she'll make, she'll make her way
She's a good old girl
She'll fly true
(Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I'm don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.)
She's a good old girl
My good old girl
She's lived too long and seen too much
But still responds to the right touch
And she's a pretty girl
Such a pretty girl
In the presence of her pain
You can't hear nothin' but the rain of space and time
Doing what they do
Shepherding her through
Space will slow her stride
And time will tell she's tried
It's far too much to take
But my girl don't know when to break
So she'll make, she'll make her way
She'll make her way
She's good.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Pretty certain that this is the mechanic Kaylee (from the television show Firefly) singing about her ship, Serenity. What I really love about this song it that it gives her such a personality that you can think it's about any old girl that doesn't know when to quit.
Or, It might be The Doctor's spaceship, the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space). A Timetravelling spaceship with the ability to disguise itself as anything within a thousand mile radius from the landing spot in the time it landed.<br /> <br /> The TARDIS, along with "The Doctor", has been a big plotpoint in BBC's 50 year old Television show Doctor Who.
