@[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.
Blood stains the ivories on my daddy's baby grand
Ain't seen the daylight since we started this band
No more, no more
No more, no more
Store bought clothes fallin' 'part at the seams
Tea leaf readin' Gypsies fortune tellin' my dreams
No more, no more
No more, no more
Holiday Inn, lock the door with a chain
You love 'em and you hate it but to me they're all the same
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage
Stalemate jailbait, ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em with your sold out reviews
No more, no more
No more, no more
Sweet talkin' bar room, ladies' disease
Slippin' with her lips, slidin' down your knees
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Made my life a screamer, bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage
Ladies hold the aces and their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure but to me it's old fashioned
Times they're a-changin' nothing ever stands still
If I don't stop changin' I'll be writin' my will
It's the same old story, never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill
Babe, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage
Ain't seen the daylight since we started this band
No more, no more
No more, no more
Store bought clothes fallin' 'part at the seams
Tea leaf readin' Gypsies fortune tellin' my dreams
No more, no more
No more, no more
Holiday Inn, lock the door with a chain
You love 'em and you hate it but to me they're all the same
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage
Stalemate jailbait, ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em with your sold out reviews
No more, no more
No more, no more
Sweet talkin' bar room, ladies' disease
Slippin' with her lips, slidin' down your knees
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Made my life a screamer, bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage
Ladies hold the aces and their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure but to me it's old fashioned
Times they're a-changin' nothing ever stands still
If I don't stop changin' I'll be writin' my will
It's the same old story, never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill
Babe, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

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

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Mmm ditto I guess. I love this song. It's my favorite by Aerosmith. Seriously underrated.
