You can see me on the movie screen
Except I don’t mix well with a social scene
And when I see you and all the things you do
All the words to know wish I even had a clue

(Chorus)
Ohh, well speak up
Nobody’s ever listening
You, talk up
Somebody’s bound to listen to you

You’re running circles all around me
While I sit in your shadow waiting for some company
Someday you’ll teach me proper way to sing
How to hold my own and tell the world just what I think

*Chorus*

You’re not the black sheep
You’re the needle in the hay
What a lonely tale you’re weaving
So just be yourself, just be yourself
(Repeat)

I think of all the limelight waiting for these eyes
Instead I sit here thinking about how hard I never tried
Won’t Be long till all the honey’s dry
The sands of time have washed away my dreams in life

*Chorus*

You’re not the black sheep
You’re the needle in the hay
What a lonely tale you’re weaving
So just be yourself, just be yourself
(Repeat)

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
