This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
So cool, calm and collected
You had a style, a rakish style
Well, my poor heart never connected
You'd stay so long on my mind
Well, isn't it midnight on the other side of the world?
Do you remember
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)
Looking back so long ago
You had a knack, a knack of making women know
Ooh, there wasn't the time
And I knew you'd never be mine
Well, isn't it midnight on the other side of the world?
Do you remember
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)
The face of a pretty girl
Isn't it midnight on the other side of the world?
Do you remember
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)
The face of a pretty girl? (The face of a pretty girl)

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
American Town

Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
To me, this is a frustrated song, both in the lyrics and the music, IMO, It can be counterpointed quite well with one of Christine's other big tracks on the Tango in the Night album, Everywhere:
Everywhere is typical Christine McVie... Soft Rock (Or at least as Soft Rock as you can get with the instruments and style of the late 80s -- Very much in the same vein as Over my Head and Warm Ways from the Fleetwood Mac album). The word music and the words are about as schmushy as you can get.
Isn't it Midnight is dark, and that lets Lindsey Buckingham gain a greater prescence than in Everywhere. He gets full parts all the way through, and even gets a solo. The song's tempo is faster and more hustled than Everywhere, which adds to the frustrated feel. It's emptier than Everywhere, too. Especially in the verse, where just the four main instrumental parts play. There are no rhythmic 'tickles' (I don't know any better word than that, but I hope you know what I mean) or additions here. Lindsey's solo is somewhat distressed.
Lyrically, I'd imagine this one was about infatuation with a man. 'Midnight' can be time for inner reflection, and I feel that the singer is spending her inner-reflection-time thinking about this man. Because she is infatuated, she wants this man to be thinking about her own pretty face during his midnight. To me, the 'other side of the world' means she does not even know him well enough to know where he lives.
