@[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.
Packing my crib and I'm taking a trip out of town
Over the weekend
Must have a change from the sight of this strange lonely town
Over the weekend
Far from the noise of the crowd
There must be some place for me
Where I can shout to the clouds
Shout that I'm free
High on a mountain top
Time and the world will stop, I know what ill find
Love uninhibited, nothing prohibited
If its insane I don't care, let me lost my mind
Monday will seem as unreal as a dream in the night
Over the weekend
Back on the train I could never explain my delight
Over the week end
Will I have any regrets
Back in the hole in the wall?
How long before I could get
The thrill of it all?
I think that I can hold on
To love when it's over and gone
I'll let the curtain descend
Over the weekend
Oh, oh, what a dream, what at time, oh, what a day
Oh, love, love, love
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
I wanna shout from the highest mountain top
Oh, what a night, it was right
Right here, right now
Over the weekend
Must have a change from the sight of this strange lonely town
Over the weekend
Far from the noise of the crowd
There must be some place for me
Where I can shout to the clouds
Shout that I'm free
High on a mountain top
Time and the world will stop, I know what ill find
Love uninhibited, nothing prohibited
If its insane I don't care, let me lost my mind
Monday will seem as unreal as a dream in the night
Over the weekend
Back on the train I could never explain my delight
Over the week end
Will I have any regrets
Back in the hole in the wall?
How long before I could get
The thrill of it all?
I think that I can hold on
To love when it's over and gone
I'll let the curtain descend
Over the weekend
Oh, oh, what a dream, what at time, oh, what a day
Oh, love, love, love
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
I wanna shout from the highest mountain top
Oh, what a night, it was right
Right here, right now
