@[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.
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I didn't get my invite
Could be lost in the mail or something
I'm gonna be there tonight
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I can see right through her act
She said something about me
And all the cool kids made a pact
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
Let's ruin Julie's birthday
What does she have to celebrate?
It's not a party if I'm not there
Just her stupid friends and a birthday cake
I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me
And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?
And what do you mean that I can't go?
(What do you mean I can't go?)
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
(You take me for a fool)
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
No, I'm not that small but am on a search.... Came here for enlightenment but found only vacuum. Not sure about E, but many years ago my Julie chucked me on her birthday, so I agree, let's ruin her birthday! Can't get this tune out of my head. Yet another gorgeous album for those of us dependent on E.
@highonE <br /> Awwww. I'm a Julie but I would never "chuck" someone in their birthday. Or any holiday really. Now please don't ruin mine. Thanks. (Hope things are going smooth for you once again.)
