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.
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited as you know he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays Fridays Tuesdays Thursday the same
Sometimes the special guest he don't like to leave
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Who made who made up made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
In love...Ah ha ha ha...
...follows torture...follows reward... (2x)
Oh, oh my butt...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
Already...in love... (6x)
Already...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited as you know he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays Fridays Tuesdays Thursday the same
Sometimes the special guest he don't like to leave
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Who made who made up made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
In love...Ah ha ha ha...
...follows torture...follows reward... (2x)
Oh, oh my butt...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
Already...in love... (6x)
Already...

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/
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
I agree with jaco. "I'll never suck satan's dick" , refers to corporate america and the record companies. Like Bill Hicks ....
This is a great song with a great message. There are a lot of stories about models and actresses "Such fine examples, skinny little bitch Model, role model, roll some models in blood Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us" who tried to get close to Eddie and use their 'Star power' to 'hook up' with him backstage at his shows or at his hotel. This song is just saying "I'm already in love". At a concert a woman screamed "Eddie, I love you." He fired back something like "how can you love me, you don't even know me...besides Im already in love" and went into this song.
What was Shannon Doherty doing trying to hook up with Ed? gasp Don't tell Dylan!
cool, good song
Very AWESOME song, one of my favorites. It is about the temptation Ed has to deal with from models chicks. Very funny song too. Favorite line is: I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club Some of the PJ fans need to read, and understand that one line.
Is "Satan" in this song an analogy for the women that tempt him or something? Is the devil meant to mean cheating on his wife? He's declaring he'll never give in to the temptation?
That's what I think. Seems obvious to me, anyway...
'Never slept in satan's bed.' He's never cheated although there's always a temptation. 'I shit, i stink, I'm real...' He's famous and rich but still human, treat him like a human.
can it have somthing to do with "the suckers of satan's cock " by bill hicks? i think so. you should know the part of bill hicks first, before you can unserstand this theory.
Fan-bloody-tastic! Possibly the best song they've ever done. Excellent lyrics and raw guitar.
