@[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.
Hey, hey, hey
Find a penny, pick it up
All day long, you'll have good luck
Jesus on the line saying Hitchens is divine
And who knows what'll happen to us?
Find a penny, pick it up
Find a lollipop to suck
Drive a Cadillac, put your money in a sack
And if you stick around, you'll only get stuck
Down so low
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
Dig a hole and find a rabbit
Once was good but two become a habit
It's written in your skin
And we're all wondering where you've been
And I never thought I'd be friends with an addict
I said, shine your shoes and cut your hair
Don't forget your trendy underwear
I'm thinking with my thing and girl, I'd like to hang
There's a record back at my place you should hear
All night long
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta learn to give and not just take
You gotta learn that love won't always wait
You gotta bake a cake from the mistakes you make
Look at the mess we've made
Feels like we've wasted days
What we've got will still go on
Until it's gone
You said it right the first time
I said it wrong the last
So find a penny, pick it up
You were always good enough
Find a penny, pick it up
All day long, you'll have good luck
Jesus on the line saying Hitchens is divine
And who knows what'll happen to us?
I said, find a penny, pick it up
Find a lollipop to suck
Drive a Cadillac, put your money in a sack
And if you stick around, you'll only get stuck
Down so low
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta learn to give and not just take
You gotta learn that love won't always wait
You gotta bake a cake from the mistakes you make
Find a penny, pick it up
All day long, you'll have good luck
Jesus on the line saying Hitchens is divine
And who knows what'll happen to us?
Find a penny, pick it up
Find a lollipop to suck
Drive a Cadillac, put your money in a sack
And if you stick around, you'll only get stuck
Down so low
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
Dig a hole and find a rabbit
Once was good but two become a habit
It's written in your skin
And we're all wondering where you've been
And I never thought I'd be friends with an addict
I said, shine your shoes and cut your hair
Don't forget your trendy underwear

You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta bake a cake from the mistake you make
You gotta learn to give and not just take
You gotta learn that love won't always wait
You gotta bake a cake from the mistakes you make

You gotta bake a cake from the mistakes you make

Mountain Song

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."

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/
