This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You'd rather have wine than gin
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time, catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind,
Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang, all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen.
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind,
Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time, catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind,
Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang, all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen.
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind,
Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I am the "Little Queen". My dad bought this cassette for me long (I'm not saying how long) after he gave me my nickname at birth. This was one of the first cassettes I ever owned. I had CSNY and I had Neil Young, too. Does anyone even know what a cassette tape is anymore? Am I the only dinosaur on Song Meanings?
It is so much fun to be able to share music with my dad. My first concert was "The Bay City Rollers", then "The Charlie Daniels Band", then "Beach Boys". All with my dad. And many, many more. So priceless!
@streaker I like our post! I am a dad who shares music with his daughter. I nicknamed her "Queenie" when she was a baby, still call her that at times now that she is 16. We've been to a lot of concerts and music festivals together, and it means a lot to mean that music is an important part of her her life, because it is so important to me. I hope you are still sharing music with your father! Oh, and I have hundreds of cassettes. I'm sure I"m much older than you, probably closer to your father's age. Dinosaurs live!
This song is about a young Ann Wilson and those great early Heart songs!
I think this song is about somebody that is thrust into a position of popularity and stardom that they are not quite ready for. They are very popular for a time, very successful, on the front page of magazines, etc. They find that level of fame to be overwhelming, but at the same time feel the need to capitalize on it while they are so hot. All the while the person is feeling isolated and sad. There is a special someone that wants to understand and be there, but the craziness of the situation also pushes love away or makes it impossible to sustain.
@Shazta I agree with your song meaning. Makes sense!
@Shazta
Thx! I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that.
