@[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.
Roll another one,
Just like the other one.
You been holding onto it,
And I sure would like a hit!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Just like the other one.
You been holding onto it,
And I sure would like a hit!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!
Don't bogart that joint my friend,
Pass it over to me!

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag

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.
This song is about Humphrey Bogart in some joint he used to hang around in. When used towards someone other than Bogart himself, "Don't Bogart That Joint" means you should stop trying to get all the attention in the place to yourself. Because it's lame to do.
Well, not exactly. It IS a reference to Humphrey Bogart. To "Bogart a joint" is to let the "herbal cigarette" hang on your lips while it continues to burn down, without inhaling, thus waisting it's percieved beneficial effects.
Sorry to inform you but you are both wrong. Lowell George is rolling over in his grave as we speak. I'm sorry SpacePedestrian but you are wayyyyyy off in left field, actually you're not even in the bleachers, you're somewhere down the street. Hugles is in the ballpark but he forgot his glove lol. Ok for those of you who are marijuana illiterate ::coughprevioustwoposterscough:: allow me to break this one down:<br /> <br /> "Joint" aka "Jazz Cigarette" aka "J"(noun) = A Marijuana Cigarette<br /> "Bogart" or "the act of Bogarting"(verb) = while this is a direct reference to Humphrey Bogart it is more a reference to the mans actions than the man himself. Bogart was known to smoke cigars all the way down to the end. In this song "Bogart" is a verb not a known refering to smoking a "Joint" down to the end without passing it to the next person in the circle.<br /> Ro-o-o-o-o-o-oll Another One = roll another "Joint" to smoke<br /> Hit = a drag from a "joint"<br /> <br /> I hope this has clarified some things for the people who may not be hip to "stoner lingo". Be on the lookout for more stuff like this in Little Feat songs as Lowell George incorporated quite a bit of it in his songs. If you truly believe that this song is about Humphrey Bogart looking for attention in a bar then you obviously don't need any marijuana you are clearly high enough. As for me i'm gonna go RO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OLLLLL ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE and listen to Waiting For Columbus and since i'm alone at the moment you better believe i'm gonna "Bogart" this "Joint" my friends. F-E-A-T.<br /> <br />
bogart smoked cigarettes in a very fast manner in the movies..., don't bogart the thing just take a hit and pass it around
