@[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.
Your mama's got nothing on me
Your daddy's got nothing on me
And the world that sleeps in its lunacy
It's got nothing on me
No stars got nothing on me
Your sun's got nothing on me
And the fool who sees it's the thief that needs
Has got nothing on me
You know it's not because the light here gets brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I got a friend in the devil
But I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
I can get so wound up, but I feel alright
And if I get some rest, yeah that'd be nice
When I shouldn't do it, I still do it
What you think's got nothing to do with this
Before you were born, I was already sinning
Yeah yeah yeah
When I get too worked up, well I work it out
And if I get too down, I just shout it out
I may not have it all, but the rest will do
And it's nothing against or to do with you
Before you were born, I was already sinning
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
That I could ever be your friend
If you don't listen so good, I can hum it out
Na na na na na na na na
I know I shouldn't do it, I just do it
And what you think's got nothing to do with it
Before you were born, I was already sinning
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
I could be your friend
I could never be your friend
I never needed a friend
I don't wanna be friends
You'll never find a friend like me
Your daddy's got nothing on me
And the world that sleeps in its lunacy
It's got nothing on me
No stars got nothing on me
Your sun's got nothing on me
And the fool who sees it's the thief that needs
Has got nothing on me
You know it's not because the light here gets brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I got a friend in the devil
But I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
I can't even be your friend
I can get so wound up, but I feel alright
And if I get some rest, yeah that'd be nice
When I shouldn't do it, I still do it
What you think's got nothing to do with this
Before you were born, I was already sinning
Yeah yeah yeah
When I get too worked up, well I work it out
And if I get too down, I just shout it out
I may not have it all, but the rest will do
And it's nothing against or to do with you
Before you were born, I was already sinning
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
That I could ever be your friend
If you don't listen so good, I can hum it out
Na na na na na na na na
I know I shouldn't do it, I just do it
And what you think's got nothing to do with it
Before you were born, I was already sinning
It's not because the light here is brighter
And it's not that I'm evil
I just don't like to pretend
I could be your friend
I could never be your friend
I never needed a friend
I don't wanna be friends
You'll never find a friend like me

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
@masquirina Yeah, why not.
