@[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.
Hangin' on a curtain
Swingin' like a clock
Big hand on the seven
The little hand on top
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Hangin' on a curtain
Swingin' like a clock
Big hand on the seven
The little hand on top
Said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
Said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
Swingin' like a clock
Big hand on the seven
The little hand on top
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Hangin' on a curtain
Swingin' like a clock
Big hand on the seven
The little hand on top
Said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
Said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop

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.
to me this song is just about two lovers.
nothing about dodgy paedos... "!" or rape.
i have no idea what hanging on a curtain means, sounds cool though. :)
