Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

@[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.
ok, i didnt read all the posts, just the first couple, and if they all are like that, you guys are nuts. Cliff Burton ranks WAY up there on the greatest bassists of all time. Burton never used a pick, and used a standard 4 string bass. His work is sometimes mistaken for a guitar (the intro to For Whom The Bell Tolls for example), and is without a doubt one of the greatest of all time. He was a musical genious and everyone respected and listened to him. Metallica was influenced VERY much by Cliff, as he made them listen to many different genres of music. James was said to look up to Cliff, almost like he was his older brother, and Cliff taught him many things musically.
R.I.P. Cliff...
