It's a crap song like, but you can't exactly get at him for saying he finds a woman physically attractive.

But if he's going on and on and on and on about her body, and how his bed smells after she's been in it, but no mention of her personality, then it's heading that way?

Have you heard pop music before?

The ol' Trent Reznor technique.

I'm not particularly bothered about it, I guess I assumed he was beyond the Motley Crue or Kiss approach to lyric writing.

Musical equivalent of Kony 2012.

Have any of them been caught naked and jacking it in San Diego yet?

Or, The Beatles, or The Rolling Stones, or, you know, any band ever.

The lyrics are literally 

I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body

Obviously its an industry wide probably, clearly, but given he's a huge name in the industry, its 2017, AND his audience is predominantly younger women, I think he should take a bit of responsibility and cut shit like that out.

Don't be ridiculous, saying you're physically attracted to a person is not a problem.

There's a difference between saying you're physically attracted to someone and saying you're only attracted to someone because of their body shape, which is what the song does.

This comment will get well overlooked, made me laugh anyway mate!

Ed can headline, just bought his back catalogue (along with Radiohead's) & there's enough there that I expect him to play (the singles) to make me happy seeing him. I even like his two new singles.

I'll cross my fingers he'll bring some special guests along although we might have to tie up @Martin Ashford if Taylor Swift is lurking around end of June.

Guessing T Swizzle is too big to sub Ed? And then guest slot with him?

It just occurred to me that I've spent the last few minutes catching up with debate around the sales and impact of Mumford & Sons' second album and then the contents of Ed Sheeran's lyrics. 

My Saturday nights are not what they once were, that's for sure.

To be fair to old Ed, the song was written for Rihanna and wouldn't be that offensive if she sang it.

Sheeran should really take it upon himself to redefine the laws of attraction and not acknowledge aesthetics at all. What a pigman.

I'm sure he doesn't care. He's bringing home plenty of bacon

Isn't Castle On The Hill about class divides and the housing crisis?

Maybe divide is actually a political concept album focusing on the state of post brexit Britain (or just a play it safe continuation of his silly maths theme)

FWIW, the only comment I've seen from an actual lady on the subject of I Like Your Fit Lady's Bod is that it's a pleasant change for it not to be so objectifying and sleazy and male gaze.

It's just occurred to me that I was involved in the discussion. Saturday nights haven't been what they were for quite some time for me.

Keep your powder dry for the next 6 months is my advice.
