@[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.
When your gift unfurls
When your talent becomes apparent
I will roar from the stalls
I will gurgle from the circle
The saints smile shyly
Down on you
Oh, they couldn't get over
Your nine-leaf clover
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
When your name's with the best
Will my name be on your guest list?
And I will roar from the stalls
Ooh, the balcony fool was me, you fool
Jesus made this all for you, love (you, love)
He couldn't get over
Your Grandma's omen
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
Da-da-da...
When your talent becomes apparent
I will roar from the stalls
I will gurgle from the circle
The saints smile shyly
Down on you
Oh, they couldn't get over
Your nine-leaf clover
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
When your name's with the best
Will my name be on your guest list?
And I will roar from the stalls
Ooh, the balcony fool was me, you fool
Jesus made this all for you, love (you, love)
He couldn't get over
Your Grandma's omen
Oh, lucky lisp was not wasted on you
Lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
Da-da-da...

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
If you look throughout our cultural history, some of the people through the centuries to have the greatest impact -- Oscar Wilde, Leonard Bernstein, Tennesse Williams, Allen Ginsburg, Jean Genet -- are gay/bisexual/of the homo persuasion. At first thought one would think to "Lisp" is a negative characteristic -- a gay stereotype. The singer is saying "you and I have been blessed with the LUCKY LISP" -- a gay passing of the torch if you will. It's about taking what's been given to you (whether you are black and have been blessed with athletic skills, nerdy and have blessed with genius, etc) and making the most of it despite the obstacles of predjudice and the like.
I agree with xod with all the references to gay lifestyle. When you're gift unfurls, when you're talent becomes aparent - when you come out i will roar from the stalls - possible gay sex reference- taking it behind i will girgle from the circle - another gay sex reference - taking it in the mouth nine leaf clover is apparently again sex reference the chorus i think is saying that although as with a lisp being gay at first seems negative, it is in fact a good thing. and it wasnt wasted on him because he is going out with moz. basically, i think it is about somebody who is gay, not out yet, and n=another gay guy telling him that being gay is not bad.
I have no idea what this song means. There seems to be religious ideas here: Saints, Jesus, omen...
Any ideas??
I think he is possibly encouraging some budding talent, by implying that when the raw talent is harnesed, and they "hit their stride," so to speak their skill will be fantastic.

All references to the gay lifestyle. "Stalls" are the bathroom stalls used for anonymous gay encounters. "Circle" = 'circle jerk' of men pleasuring themselves. "balcony" = gay porno theater where anonymous encounters also occur. "9 leaf clover" refers to a part of the posterior anatomy often used in these activities.
If you think "stalls" refers to bathrooms, you're obviously not British. Hint: Morrissey follows (and frequently writes about) two famous types of people...
Having a lisp is also a gay stereotype.
This song makes me wanna dance and sing along all day, I love it!
