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.
(CHORUS)
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Well swing it on the front porch
Swing it on the lawn
Swing it where we want cause there's ain't nobody home
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Think about baseball swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Swing it in the living room
Swing it in the kitchen
Most folks don't cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swing it in there cause she wants me to feed here
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie, yeah
Swing it to the drums
Swing it to guitar
Swing it to the bass in the back of my car
Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
But we'll get where we're going
If we swing real fast
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Swing it all night long
Swing it
Hey, hey
(I'm a trained professional)
Swing it in the bathroom
Swing it on the floor
Swing it so hard, forgot to lock the door
In walk her daddy standing six foot four
Saying you ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Sweet cherry pie
Swing it
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Well swing it on the front porch
Swing it on the lawn
Swing it where we want cause there's ain't nobody home
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Think about baseball swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Swing it in the living room
Swing it in the kitchen
Most folks don't cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swing it in there cause she wants me to feed here
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie, yeah

Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
But we'll get where we're going
If we swing real fast
I scream, you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try cause you can't ignore her
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
Swing it all night long
Swing it
Hey, hey

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Who was the chick in the video, she's smokes like the sky in New Jersey on a Monday. I know this is very tongue-in-cheek and all that, I think the title was pure genius. Popping the cherry which is located in the hair pie. Now that's genius salesmanship.
