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.
Aladdin was a lad who walked the sand
He found a lamp on the beach
He shined it up and in a cloudy mist a genie granted him 3 wish
Now I’ve been cooped up in this lamp for 3 million years
If you let me out then I’ll give you three wish
I’ll give you palace, with servents and food to eat
And with gorgeous women your feet will be kissed
You’ve been cooped in this lamp for how many years?
And if I let you out you give me three wishes?
It seems that you are the one who has’nt had any fun
And it is I who shall fullfil your needs...
Those ideas that you have in that thick head of yours
Don't appeal to my clean sense of taste.
Put your eyes in your head and get your mind off the bed
Or a lamp you might find yours incased!!
Wait my sweet lovely genie before you banish me
To the lamp from which you have just come.
I wish that you would come to me burning
I ask this wish for it is only just one
If its your hearts desire to have me hot as fire
I grant it though it may be a sin
But with all of your lustin' your skin will stay charcoal black
Because I am fire and I'm blazing your skin
Why dont you get up
Aladdin, a genie in a lamp
He found a lamp on the beach
He shined it up and in a cloudy mist a genie granted him 3 wish
Now I’ve been cooped up in this lamp for 3 million years
If you let me out then I’ll give you three wish
I’ll give you palace, with servents and food to eat
And with gorgeous women your feet will be kissed
You’ve been cooped in this lamp for how many years?
And if I let you out you give me three wishes?
It seems that you are the one who has’nt had any fun
And it is I who shall fullfil your needs...
Those ideas that you have in that thick head of yours
Don't appeal to my clean sense of taste.
Put your eyes in your head and get your mind off the bed
Or a lamp you might find yours incased!!
Wait my sweet lovely genie before you banish me
To the lamp from which you have just come.
I wish that you would come to me burning
I ask this wish for it is only just one
If its your hearts desire to have me hot as fire
I grant it though it may be a sin
But with all of your lustin' your skin will stay charcoal black
Because I am fire and I'm blazing your skin
Why dont you get up
Aladdin, a genie in a lamp

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
