@[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.
Told you once about your friends and neighbors
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright
Where to go and where to see
It's always been this way and it can never be
It's alright, yes it's alright
Give it all and ask no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
That's it's alright, yes it's alright
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
It's alright, it's alright
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through
But it's alright, yes it's alright
Told you once about your friends and neighbors

Oh oh oh

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
It's alright, yes it's alright
Where to go and where to see

This song is amazing. Just heard it for the first time like half an hour ago, and I love it. Truly beautiful.
Great song, but I don't understand what it means.
Bill Ward sings this I think.
(i've never heard this song i just know a cover by Guns N' roses on the live era disc but that one belongs too my favorites^^)
Simply amazing musicianship and lyrics. An overlooked and underrated song in my opinon.
He's talkin to a hidden body...
@eagleii <br /> That's exactly how I've always thought about it - he is hiding his girl friend's dead body. That considered, the lyics make sense!

i guess bill was betrayed by a girl in there
i don't know if it's right but i could mean that when you are in love everything else is not so important- You just live luckily in love and everything else goes by, everything is alright
just an opinion maybe i'm completly wrong
I did not know that Bill Ward could hit those high notes!
The song is about how he found love and learned that nothing else matters.
Maybe this song is about true love as others have said. But to me some things don't fit, like the "can never be" part. This seems more like a comforting song in case a love doesn't work out.
