In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Passami qua, tiralo lì,
poi torna qui, mettiti lì.
La serie A si basa sul concetto di campione
che gioca in serie A.
La serie B si basa sul concetto di banana. Il piede.
La squadra retrocede,
e il mister silurato si ritira e fa una fine tipo Agroppi,
perché il mondo del calcio non perdona chi cilecca.
Voglio andare a vivere in campagna.
Zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa,
zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa,
semina falcia insacca coltiva pota.
Passa passa passa passa passa passa passa.
Para para para para para para para para.
Ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi pera.
Da serie A, a serie B,
a serie C1, a serie C2,
a serie C3 che non c’è, a serie piede a banana,
a serie subbuteo, a serie l’importante è partecipare,
a Saint-Tropez.
poi torna qui, mettiti lì.
La serie A si basa sul concetto di campione
che gioca in serie A.
La serie B si basa sul concetto di banana. Il piede.
La squadra retrocede,
e il mister silurato si ritira e fa una fine tipo Agroppi,
perché il mondo del calcio non perdona chi cilecca.
Voglio andare a vivere in campagna.
Zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa,
zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa zappa,
semina falcia insacca coltiva pota.
Passa passa passa passa passa passa passa.
Para para para para para para para para.
Ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi ponzi pera.
Da serie A, a serie B,
a serie C1, a serie C2,
a serie C3 che non c’è, a serie piede a banana,
a serie subbuteo, a serie l’importante è partecipare,
a Saint-Tropez.

@[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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This track, which later evolved into "Lo stato A, lo stato B", was the theme song for the 1995/96 edition of "Mai dire gol", a successful satyrical TV show about soccer. The lyrics have nothing to do with the later, expanded version, but instead they poke fun at the figure of the hapless soccer trainer whose team is relegated to a lower division.
