@[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.
Do you think, think
Everything, everyone is going mental?
It seems to me we're spiraling
Out of control and it's inevitable
Now don't you think
This time is yours, this time is mine?
It's temperamental
It seems to me, we're on all fours
Crawling on our knees, someone help us please
Oh, Jesus Christ, Almighty
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles
Oh, yes, I'm fine
And everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Don't you want something else
Something new, than what we got here?
And don't you feel it's all the same
Some sick game, and it's so insincere?
I wish I could change the ways of the world
Make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay
Doing what we do, screwing who we screw
Why can't I sleep at night?
Don't say "it's gonna be alright"
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti Bolognese
And not feel bad about it for days and days and days
All the magazines, they talk about weight loss
If I buy those jeans, I can look like Kate Moss
I know it's not the life that I chose
But I guess it's just the way that things go
Oh, yes, I'm fine
And everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Oh, yes, I'm fine
And everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
Oh, Jesus Christ, Almighty
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause I got your fucking money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles
But I guess that's just the way that things go
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles
But I guess that's just the way that things go
I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Best song on the album.
What are you talking about? None of them are judging anything. They were discussing, but not judging. You appear to me a very bitter person and I could suggest that you should go out and get help.
And as far as being 'Just fine', I think she's swaying on both sides. Like, she gets frustrated when there are things she just can't control, but other times -even though she has problems on the side- at the moment she's able to do whatever and be completely worry free about it at the moment. Sorry, run-on sentence. Then later on it comes and bites her in the butt, and she feels down again.
i love this song, I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognase, And not feel bad about it for days and days and days, All the magazines they talk about weight loss, If I buy those dreams, I can look like Kate Moss
is brilliant i feel its a bit satirical and all that, saying all this stupid social stuff is going on but shes still having a good time, unless that parts sarcastic
i love it though, this girl is fantastic!
This song is about the state that britain and society in general is in at the moment - "I wish I could, change the ways Of the world, make it a nice place Until that day, I guess we stay Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw."
Basically it means we all do what we want, have unprotected sex with who we want, do drink and drugs and be violent and its seen as acceptable now. But.. its gone too far and now "We're spiralling out of control"
I think the whole song is satirical and sarcastic all the way through, i dont think she meant it when she says everything is wonderful and fine.
And I think one of the line is wrong - "If I buy those dreams, I can look like Kate Moss"
Its - "If i but those JEANS, I can look like kate moss"
If you open any woman magazine in this moment in time there will be an article on losing weight, and an half the magazine will be on how to look more like a celebrity. And its wrong, like the lyrics suggest
this song is so pretty!
I have to disagree, i think she is being sincere in 'everything being just wonderful'. it's like even thought the world is so corrupt and has the wrong morals, etc. she accepts that is just the way 'the cookie crumbles' and she is still happy as she is.
What?! She's sooo being sarcastic! And it's 'jeans' not 'dreams'.
Absolutely.
Loooove this song. The english pop scene seems to be so much better than the US one. When I think of Lily Allen, then Hilary Duff...there's really no comparison.
This song is deep yo!. Make's you hate the world and society in general.
=]
Lily's SO young but so intelligent! love her.
Not a bad word can be spoken of Ms. Allen.
