@[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.
Nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
Every single heartache will be kissed and loved away
And at my desires height, the body will obey
Lay your hands on me, girl, touch my burnin' sand
Let your waters calm me, your wish is my command
You can count on me, yeah
I'll set you free and easy
Any fantasy, yeah, will be acted out completely
Nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
(Ah, baby)
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
(You know, you know)
There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
(Oh)
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
(I know, I know)
Lay down here beside me and we'll cruise the caravan
Let your fingers guide me to the pleasures you demand
Let my lips caress the deepest portals of your soul
Feel the fire I possess, I got to let you know, girl
You can count on me, girl
I'll set you free and easy
Every, any fantasy will be acted out completely
Nothin' but smooth sailin'
(Oh)
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
There'll be nothin'
But smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me
Is my delight tonight
Let's go sailin', sailin' girl
Don't you wanna go sailin'
Count on me
Oh, I'll set you free and easy
Any fantasy will be acted out completely
Nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
Nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
There'll be nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight
Every single heartache will be kissed and loved away
And at my desires height, the body will obey
Lay your hands on me, girl, touch my burnin' sand
Let your waters calm me, your wish is my command
You can count on me, yeah
I'll set you free and easy
Any fantasy, yeah, will be acted out completely
Nothin' but smooth sailin' tonight
(Ah, baby)
Anything that you want from me is my delight tonight

Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
