@[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.
Take another step
Tell another lie
Hide another tear
In the corner of your eye
I don't understand
What kind of game this we're playin'.
Dancin' in the dark
Shadow's in the night
Slowly going wrong
Trying to make it right
The silence is so loud
I can't hear the words we're sayin'.
Chorus:
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Everybody knows the dance
Oh, it's so easy to do
Tear a dream in two
To kill a true romance
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Anyone can make love end
It's gonna take a little pain
Some fire and some rain
To bring it back again.
I know you're afraid
Baby, so am I
You think you're going to fall
All you want to do is fly
We're up against the wall
And love is the
Chance we're taking.
So look into my heart
Tell me can't you see
I belong with you
You belong with me
When I hold you in my arms
We can hear the music play.
Chorus:
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Everybody knows the dance
Oh, it's so easy to do
Tear a dream in two
To kill a true romance
Anyone can do the heartbreak
Anyone can make love end
It's gonna take a little pain
Some fire and some rain
To bring it back again.
And it's one step forward
And two steps back
Oh, we keep on moving
But we're only losing ground
We've got to turn
This love 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,
