Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob
'Ave a cup of tea, 'ave a cup of tea
I'm the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture
Creeping in your room in the dead of night
With me solo polo vision
(that's right)
I'm a cockney geezer
Watch me bleed ya
I knew the ripper, when he was just a nipper
I taught him how to slice
I cut him up a treat
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
14 shillings for your melons (oh yeah)
(We're the Piper twins
We're Jim and Jackie Piper
Cutting through the night like a windscreen
Wiping you away, like raindrops
Don't mess with the boys)
Shut your noise
Coming in strong like a freakshow nightmare
Dancing skeletons - white, blue and yella uns
Moving through the shadows with the speed of a cat
And if you cross us weÃll cut ya
And you ain't gonna like that...
I'm bad juju
I use voodoo if I choose to
I harness the forces of evil to abuse you
With power, a polo, an evil magnet
Sucking up your soul
And you ain't gonna like that.
'Ave a cup of tea, 'ave a cup of tea
I'm the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture
Creeping in your room in the dead of night
With me solo polo vision
(that's right)
I'm a cockney geezer
Watch me bleed ya
I knew the ripper, when he was just a nipper
I taught him how to slice
I cut him up a treat
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
14 shillings for your melons (oh yeah)
(We're the Piper twins
We're Jim and Jackie Piper
Cutting through the night like a windscreen
Wiping you away, like raindrops
Don't mess with the boys)
Shut your noise
Coming in strong like a freakshow nightmare
Dancing skeletons - white, blue and yella uns
Moving through the shadows with the speed of a cat
And if you cross us weÃll cut ya
And you ain't gonna like that...
I'm bad juju
I use voodoo if I choose to
I harness the forces of evil to abuse you
With power, a polo, an evil magnet
Sucking up your soul
And you ain't gonna like that.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think its: i'm a cockney geezer, watch me blled ya. I knew the ripper when he was just a nipper.
And in the end bit its with power, a polo and an evil magnet.
Surely "fourteen shillings for yer melon"!
yeah, those lyrics are just so wrong. but that songs amazing so its okay.
the hitcher is brilliant....
i hope he didn't do the ripper...
it's "A power, a POLO" isn't it? And soes snyone remember the lyrics to the Piper Teins bit form the TV version?
Yes. "im a cockney geezer, watch me bleed ya, i knew the ripper when he was just a nipper" Who the frig typed out these lyrics. All wrong.
And its not called trapped in a box. its called "Im the hitcher" Nerr.
The other version is 99% accurate, but its got the wrong title.
It also has the piper twins verse... "We're the piper twins, Jim and Jackie Piper cutting through the night like a windscreen wiping you away like rain drops dont mess with the boys" Shut your noise
Heh, I always thought this was "Badger Banana! (too bad ya deead!)" I suppose that makes more sense..
lol, this is awesome! o bad the lyrics are wrong, but the song is awesome. love it :D
Pound your banana (two pound your pear) Pound your banana (two pound your pear) Pound your banana (two pound your pear) Cor me shivers with your melons...oh yeah
...its 40 shillings for your melons...oh yeah!
im not just nitpicking.. but its a funny line... get it right :P
