I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way of saying goodbye
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
You taught me everything I know about taking other people for a ride
And I just wanted to take the time to thank you for that gift tonight
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way of saying goodbye
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
You taught me everything I know about taking other people for a ride
And I just wanted to take the time to thank you for that gift tonight
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way of saying goodbye
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
You taught me everything I know about taking other people for a ride
And I just wanted to take the time to thank you for that gift tonight
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way of saying goodbye
I learned a good way (good way)
I learned a good way (good way)
You taught me everything I know about taking other people for a ride
And I just wanted to take the time to thank you for that gift tonight

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
The following is a quote from Mogis on the sound and inspiration for this song:
The song actually did have a verse and a chorus and totally different vocal parts. That was a song Matt brought to the table and he didn't really like it. That was the one where everyone actually sang on all the verses. They were actually Matt's lyrics, but he never liked the song, I think. That's my personal opinion. When it started out it sounded like another M. Ward song – it was worked on for "Hold Time." We tried the, how about you sing a verse, you sing a verse and maybe it will sound different. We tried it and it sounded all right to me, but it didn't sound great. So he was like, "Why don't we make it a segue and do this weird "Goodway" thing, one repetition of the chorus, then be done with it." We worked on that for a minute then it ended up being three repetitions of the "Goodway" chorus, then two guitar solos, and then Conor wanted to do a spoken-word thing over it. And in true Monsters of Folk fashion, we said, "Oh, of course – that makes sense."
The spoken word thing ties into some of these themes of the record, but it was a letter that was found. I don't want to get into it because its supposed to remain anonymous. It wasn't anything that we actually wrote. We thought it's so funny because it ties into these yearning, searching type things, and then Conor read it. And it's all weird. So that's how we left it, like "Oh, that's uncomfortable."

oh so that's what that voiceover is... does anyone have the transcript for it? if not I'll try and transcribe it myself - it's hella funny from what I can hear so far...
So far, I have.<br /> <br /> "Yes, we’ll drive up into the forest and wait till the members of above [not sure what's here]. Build a giant fire, and wait for the son(sun?) to put it out. We’ll be feed and nurtured, developed(?) by our sergeant evil parents. We’ll eat berries from the bushes I’ll learn to fly and you’ll learn to fish, I’ll fly down to the river and join you. And when we’re strong and healthy. Then we’ll return to the human world with new skills and a new perspective. We’ll be free<br /> Yours always. "<br />
cool, that sounds about right - I have a different take on the first 1/2. what do you think?<br /> <br /> Yeah, so we'll drive out in the forest and wait till the moon is up above, smear mud and pomegranate seeds on our faces, build a giant fire and wait for the sun to put it out. We'll be fed and nurtured back to health by our surrogate animal parents. You'll eat berries from the bushes. (the rest I hear the same)<br /> <br />
I do like your start version better; now not sure on the animal or evil parents, animal is probably right, works more with the theme. <br /> So amusing..
spoken word thing:
Yeah, so we'll drive out in the forest and wait till the moon is up above, smear mud and pomegranate seeds on our faces, build a giant fire and wait for the sun to put it out. We'll be fed and nurtured back to health by our surrogate animal parents. You'll eat berries from the bushes. I’ll learn to fly and you’ll learn to fish, I’ll fly down to the river and join you. And when we’re strong and healthy. Then we’ll return to the human world with new skills and a new perspective. We’ll be free Yours always.
CosmopolitanPap/williambleak transcription collab. :P
I think the spoken word part makes the song, even though its rushed through. I think it reflects on how we as humans need to cleanse ourselves, to reflect back on what created us and what makes us. I love it.
to me this song always was a fun reflection of a one night stand of some sort. i thought it fun that way.
