@[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.
Some people spend their time just runnin' round in circles, always chasing
Some exotic bird
I prefer to spend some time just listening for that special something
That I've never-ever heard
I like a new song to sing, another show or somewhere entirely different to be
But baby, you make me feel so free
And so I yearn for mistress calling me
That's the muse, that's the muse
But we only burn up with that passion when there's absolutely nothing
Left to lose
I make it to spring and there's no bed of roses
It's just more hard work and bad company
But baby you make me feel so free
All right
(You make me feel so free)
I heard them say that you can have your cake and eat it
But all I wanted was one free lunch
How can I eat it when the man that's next to me
Now, he grabbed it, Lord, he beat me, he beat me to the punch
How can I even talk about freedom when you know
Oh, it's sweet mystery, but baby, you, you
You make me feel so free
I'm gonna lay my cards just right down on the table and spin the wheel
And roll the dice
And whatever way it comes out, and whatever way it turns out, baby you know
Well, that's the price
Well, I'll order again there's no need to explain
I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity
But baby, remember, you make me feel so free
What ya say what you say, what you say, what you say, what you say?
(You make me feel so free)
What ya say what you say, what you say, what you say, what you say?
(You make me feel so free) oh, yeah, baby, say it again
Say it, say it, say it, say it again
(You make me feel so free) oh, you make me feel so free
So doggone free
Some exotic bird
I prefer to spend some time just listening for that special something
That I've never-ever heard

And so I yearn for mistress calling me

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.
This is one of my favorite live van songs of all time, i dont know why, but ive got a mix DvD of 3 or 4 shows and appearances and next to full force gale, this is best.
