@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

“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.
Unreleased 1975. I don't know if it's really instrumental, but if it wouldn't be, then I could find lyrics somewhere. The only thing I know about it from fan pages etc. is that it is "very strange".
If anyone knows how to get it, please tell me. It's very, very rare.
I have emailed a person who wrote of the fan pages you were talking about, asking how to get it and other songs like it, and if I find out, I'll post it here.
The guy seems to not want to respond. I'm kind of ticked off about that, as I now want the song really badly.
I hate to say it, but I think that this song can't be obtained. I have been searching on a very good site for Pink Floyd rarities, and even it did not have this.

I have found a 27 minute version of Echoes, the song Moonhead, the single Take it Back, a 17 minute version of Pigs (3 different Ones), and other excellent stuff, such as Live at Pompeii as a CD. The site is not free, but it charges very little per song. I got a copy of the Breathe Reprise for 3 cents.
Highly recommended, despite not having this song.
I love the title of the song. I've never heard about it except for an interview with Waters in late 1975 with the Rock & Folk magazine. It could have become Pigs (3 different Ones) but I guess not because Pigs isn't "very strange". I would rather certificate songs like Several Species.... very strange.
Anyway, the page is great! (allofmp3)
I wasn't suggesting that it was Pigs (3 Different Ones), I was just noting that the site had it.
Who knows. Too bad I can't get it.
And actually, it turns out that that site is keeping Russia out of the World Trade Org. So if you don't like Russia, use away.
God Bless the New York Times.
I agree, great title for a song.
