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.
I just want it.
Can I have this?
Happiness in this can of This.
I just want it.
Can I have this?
Feeling fine on a can of This.
If you don't want it,
can i have this?
Can I have this,can of This?
Can I have this?
Happiness in this can of This.
I just want it.
Can I have this?
Feeling fine on a can of This.
If you don't want it,
can i have this?
Can I have this,can of This?

@[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.

I love this song... can't seem to find it anywhere though! :(
buy the album, it's worth it. And they rock live :o)
This song kicks ass.Its great isnt it!
this album is IMPOSSIBLE to find, even in the UK. I downloaded it back in 2001 off audiogalaxy (RIP). But i agree. this song rips, and it has hilarious engrish. It's everything i come to expect from MCM. I just bought Cistm KonFliqt or whatever today. But i can't listen to it till i get back home with a cd player in 8 days, i can't wait!
personally i think this songs about beer....
hey at least i didnt say drugs
best bet on gettin this album is import and it's well worth it i don't know why it's so hard to find it's easily there best album
i agree this song is about beer i think we'd all like a XXX can of beer lol
It's about cannabis. The XXX and changing the word to "can of this" is a sly wink to the censorship problems they used to face early in their career.
Two years later and still a MCM fan! I remember making that post from a computer lab in London :) Good memories.
The album this is on - "010" - isn't that hard to find. I got mine from HMV, and a quick search of Amazon reveals plenty for sale. The UK release has an extra disc with the videos of "Tribe", "Pulse", "Good Girl", and "Gaga Life". Well worth getting.
The song is about cannabis, by the way. :)
