Come one, come all to Jasontown
Mother is showing the world around
Her garden is finally grown
Her garden is finally grown

Flowers grow and people see
They all look the same to me
Growing in a row
Growing in a row

I love Julie in the spring
Candyfloss hair and purple wings
Talking in my sleep
Walking in my sleep

I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...

1492 is now
Please don't ask me why or how
People are the same
People are the same

Don't you come to Jasontown
Father is saying the world is round
Here the garden's grown
Here the garden's grown

I lay my head
On the breast
Of the dead
And I cry...

    The words are impressionistic/abstract to me, it’s more about feeling them than trying to discern an actual meaning…just beautiful poetry and images. Amazing song to lead off a very important album, an underrated masterpiece and well ahead of it’s time.

Holiday
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
