@[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.

There are holes in what we knew
There is a hole between me and you
There is an error within our phrase
Then it takes and not erased
Watch what you say
I will not bend in every way
My backbone is gray stone
I'm soft foam, I'm yellow clay
Watch what you say as time ticks, ticks away
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, time delay
Time delay, time delay
Time delay, bend away
I look, I look, I look, I look
I look, I look, I look, I look
I look, I look, I look, I look
I look, I look, I look, I look
There's the rubber, the square rubber ring
If you are new then dance your way in
It's time to leave your weapon behind
Broken weapons are all we find
My hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
My hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
My hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
They don't make magic mule every day
They don't make magic mule every day
I wanna knee slide, up and down
I wanna knee slide, up and down
You're gonna see my, see my thigh
See my beautiful thigh
'Til my jeans don't work no more
My jeans don't work no more
I'm all on the floor, all on the floor
I wanna knee slide, up and down
I wanna knee slide, up and down
You're gonna see my, see my thigh
See my beautiful thigh
'Til my jeans don't work no more
My jeans don't work no more
I'm all on the floor, all on the floor

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline

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.
A few errors...
"My soft fold, my yellow clay" is "A soft foam or yellow clay."
All those "I look"s are "I know"s, pretty sure.
I don't think it's magic mule, haha, but I have no idea what it could be.
"I wanna new slide up and down" is, I'm pretty sure, "I wanna knee slide up and down."
"You're gonna see my, see my thought See my brilliant thought" I'm not sure about this one, but it sounds to me like he says thigh, not thought. But that's weird.
i was thinking that he says 'my head's in my hands', if not every time at least some of them.
Watch what you say I will not bending every way My back bone is grey stone A soft foam or yellow clay
Watch what you say As time ticks away Tick, tick, tick, tick Tick, time delay Time delay Time delay Time delay Bend away
My favorite part!!! It;s so cool. Although I thought it was "my backbone's made of stone, not soft foam or yellow clay" but this could be right too.
Over all one of my favortites on the album.
I'm just guessing it's probably "magic bullet" instead of "magic mule." I read it in a book that "magic bullet" was used to referred to the drug that was created to treat syphilis in the early 20th century. I'm not 100% but I have no idea what a "magic mule" is! And I'd like to think it's "thighs" instead of "thoughts" cos it makes more sense with the jeans part.
The "watch what you say" part makes more sense as
"watch what you say i will not bend in every way my back bone is grey stone not soft foam or yellow clay"
it does sound like 'thighs' rather than 'thought. But to be quite honest I'm not sure I want to see Alexis Taylor's thighs.
I do not think it is "knee slide" or "new slide". I am pretty sure it is "b-slide", an actual dance move.
I'm so outraged by this and all the commenters, this song is NOT bendable poseable it's ONE PURE THOUGHT! ... geez...
