Lyrics
Got this notion from another man
The speaker got an idea or inspiration from someone else.
Put this dead fish in my hand
Metaphorically, the speaker is given something useless or unwanted.
Paperweight baby it's my name
The speaker feels like a weight or burden to someone else.
I hold you down coz your all the same to me
The speaker feels they control or restrain others because they view them as indistinguishable or similar.
That's right
Reinforces the previous line's sentiment of control or dominance.
Say whatever you want baby, I'm your man
The speaker is willing to support the person they address, being there for them.
And I can help you yes I can
Expresses willingness to assist or aid the addressed person.
Paperweight baby it's my name
Reiterates the feeling of being a burden or weight to someone else.
I can't relate coz your all the same to me
The speaker cannot connect emotionally because they perceive others as too similar or predictable.
That's right
Reinforces the sentiment of disconnect or lack of emotional attachment.
Makes no difference what they say
The opinions of others don't matter to the speaker.
We're goin' on holiday
The speaker plans to take a break or go on vacation.
Jumped my boat off the coast at Biscay
Symbolic action of departing from a place (Biscay) to start the vacation.
We're goin' on holiday
Reiterates the intention of going on vacation.
Been up all night and I sleep all day
Describes a lifestyle of staying awake at night and sleeping during the day.
Why oh why do I live this way
The speaker questions their lifestyle choices.
Hey pretty girl sit next to me
Addressing someone attractive to join them.
Coz I'm a ten foot diamond Christmas tree
The speaker likens themselves to an impressive, extravagant figure.
Makes no difference what they say
Reiterates the disregard for others' opinions.
We're goin' on holiday
Reaffirms the plan to go on vacation.
Hold my calls just get me on the front page
Wants to avoid interruptions or responsibilities.
We're goin' on holiday
Restates the intention to go on vacation.
Makes no difference what they say
Reiterates the speaker's indifference to others' opinions.
We're goin' on holiday
Confirms the plan to go on vacation.
Jumped my boat off the coast at Biscay
Repeats the symbolic action of departing for the vacation.
We're goin' on holiday
Reaffirms the plan to go on vacation.
