The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Bah Hum, No that's too strong!
'Cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this years been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just because it is the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year
World tour, aeroplanes and babies.
Met some guys but never the time
Most of 98 was along those lines.
So deck the halls and trim those trees
Raise up the cups of christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas with my mates this year
Calendar picture
Frozen landscape
Chill this room for twentyfour days
Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
Flash back to spring time,
Sunny again
Would have been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch,
We didn't of course till the summer time,
Out to the beach to his boat could have joined him
No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendars just one page
And of course I am excited
Tonights the night but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minutes have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls
Because it's are S V P
No thanks, no party lads
It's christmas eve, gonna relax
Turn down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Some guy called halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quite way I unwind,
Doing christmas right this time
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
All ready in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn, guess what I forgot
So it's on with the boots back out in the snow
To the army all night garage but when to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line that guy I've been chasing all year
Spending this one alone he said
Give me a break this years been crazy
I said me too, but why are you...
You mean you forgot the papers too
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this down to a very happy en-ending.
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas

@[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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
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.
at the end its "couldn't miss this one this year" in the waitresses one. i think its better than keeping it the same all throughout the songs, but then again i also think that the spice girls should be a weapon of psychological warfare.
