I sodding love Emeli Sande and think her new song, Daddy, is great - maybe not as good as her collaboration with Wretch 32 (http://tigers-lions-bears.blogspot.c...wretch-32.html) nor her debut .... But it's gooood, however, I don't think I understand the video?! It's supposed to be about her father (or so the name suggests) and then it's about a bloke stealing and doing drugs around her?!?!

what does everyone else think?

I *think* that 'daddy' is being used as a metaphor for drugs.It makes more sense when you look at the lyrics:

He's out your system yeah it too you a while (drugs out your system)
You got your family back and you got your smile
And you promised your sister that you'd never go back again (wouldn't go back to using drugs)

But friends keep telling you what he did last night (what the drugs you to took made you do)
How many girls he kissed how many he liked
And you try to remember that there's no way you could ever be friends

But now you're
You're looking like you really like him like him
And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him (missing the drugs)
You're speaking like you really love him love him
And now you're dancing like you need him need him

(Chorus)
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya (drug dealers speak, I wouldn't know lol)
It can be the one you run to the one that saves ya
It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly
Yeah
Daddy Daddy

He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes
You had to catch your breath got such a surprise
And you always forgot how it feels to live in his lies

He pulled you closer said he'll never let go
You couldn't trust him but you never said no
In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone

But now you're
You're looking like you really like him like him
And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him
You're speaking like you really love him love him
And now you're dancing like you need him need him

(Chorus)
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya
It can be the one you run to the one that saves ya
It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly
Yeah
Daddy Daddy

You're looking like you really like him like him
(I can kinda like him)
And now you're feeling like you miss him miss him
(I kinda miss him)
You're looking like you really love him love him
(And now you love him)
And now you're dancing like you need him need him
(Need him)

(Chorus) x2
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya
It can be the one you run to the one that saves ya
It can be your daddy daddy if you take it gladly gladly
Yeah
Daddy Daddy
