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.
Early morning, I got Mona Lisa by my side
What's the story behind that devious smile
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
She's an angel, now she's the monkey on my back
She has freedom still she never lets me go now
And my blood starts pumpin' and my heart goes jumpin'
Every time she says, 'I have to go now'
But it really don't matter for worse or for better
She will always be my number one
[Chorus]
She goes
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
Do do do do
When she walks into the room
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
She supplies me whenever ever I'm in need
Still a thief from the day she stole my heart now
And my blood starts pumpin' and my heart goes jumpin'
Every time she says, 'I have to go now'
But it really don't matter for worse or for better
She will always be my number one
She goes
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
Do do do do
When she walks into the room
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
When she walks into the room
She makes me touch the sky
A devil in disguise
She makes me touch the sky
An angel in disguise
It makes me cry, yeah, yeah
Mona Lisa by my side
With a devious little smile
She's a devil in disguise
She can make me touch the sky,
Love supplier when I'm in need
Stole my heart and me bleed
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
When she goes
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
Do do do do
When she walks into the room
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
My heart goes yeah yeah yeah
Do do do do
When she walks into the room
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
What's the story behind that devious smile
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do
She's an angel, now she's the monkey on my back
She has freedom still she never lets me go now
And my blood starts pumpin' and my heart goes jumpin'
Every time she says, 'I have to go now'
But it really don't matter for worse or for better
She will always be my number one
[Chorus]
She goes
Do do do do
Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do
Do do do do
My heart goes bang bang boom
Do do do do
When she walks into the room

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
OMG NO COMMENTS :O this song is pretty cool :] the meanings pretty obvious
