@[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.
I turn over the pages
I'm ignoring the heartache
I'm looking forward to making it out of this emptiness here
Can you help me to find my way?
Lord I've searched the whole world
But I feel so down couldn't find my way out
Lord I had no place to turn
Oh it hurts, hurts, hurts
And I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away? Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around
Oh I look over my shoulder
And I turn to no one to tell me everything is OK
And you can make these tears go away
I'll move one and do better now
But I'll still remember how it used to be
Before the love I had inside lost me
I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away? Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around
Oh feel the rain fall down
I need the rain to fall on down
I can't go on this way
My love will never be the same
Since you left me here to miss you again
I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away?
Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around
I'm ignoring the heartache
I'm looking forward to making it out of this emptiness here
Can you help me to find my way?
Lord I've searched the whole world
But I feel so down couldn't find my way out
Lord I had no place to turn
Oh it hurts, hurts, hurts
And I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away? Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around
Oh I look over my shoulder
And I turn to no one to tell me everything is OK
And you can make these tears go away
I'll move one and do better now
But I'll still remember how it used to be
Before the love I had inside lost me
I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away? Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around
Oh feel the rain fall down
I need the rain to fall on down
I can't go on this way
My love will never be the same
Since you left me here to miss you again
I wish I didn't feel this way anymore
I wanna escape so I chase the clouds
You got me chasing clouds
Gotta let the rain fall down
I wish I didn't feel the blame anymore
Why'd you go away?
Why'd you let me down?
You got me chasing clouds
So lonely now you're not around
So lonely now you're not around

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,
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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
