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.
How to? We're here to praise your name,
Blazing sun and a bitter death
You're a guardian across the gate
Wake up there is a new dawning
Wake up the witches wait
For you remember the mirror
When she looked in you are born
And the born in the middle of Margret
There's nobody else, there's nothing (at all)
Songs out of gnome's there's joy in the air
The hard the one dies when you were never there
Turn the wheel again
A new beginning
Another end
Cry out, the land needs blood
Inside the rain we'll all waiting
Give up yourself and your own
Cry out for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to fear
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Come turn the page
We do not believe in lies
Do not believe in lies!
(voice over)
There's someone coming
There's someone coming
We arise from the envelope? (now)
Everything should move
When a new day begins
God of wind and god of rain
Tell them where you better beware
The moment stay we sing for you
The love we blessed a child
See your bed time,?
Stay your voice in
We will be with you artipiant?
Come and move our hearts
We know there is light beyond the dark
Cry out, we cry for blood
Come cry your fear and join us
Come join us now
Join us now!
Cry out for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to fear
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Come turn the page
A new beginning
Another end
The myth of life you hold in your hand
We cry out, the land needs blood
The change of season
Treasure (We praise) the new beginning
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Repeat: x 2)
Cry out for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to fear
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Come turn the page
Blazing sun and a bitter death
You're a guardian across the gate
Wake up there is a new dawning
Wake up the witches wait
For you remember the mirror
When she looked in you are born
And the born in the middle of Margret
There's nobody else, there's nothing (at all)
Songs out of gnome's there's joy in the air
The hard the one dies when you were never there
Turn the wheel again
A new beginning
Another end
Cry out, the land needs blood
Inside the rain we'll all waiting
Give up yourself and your own
Cry out for you
Come turn the wheel
There's nothing to fear
Come turn the wheel
Come turn the page
Come turn the page
We do not believe in lies
Do not believe in lies!
(voice over)
There's someone coming

Come cry your fear and join us
Come join us now

@[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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Well I looked it up so i could post the reference and it seems it was changed. To This..
"Turn the Page" it's about the Wicca-Religion and the ritual of renewal.
