I dunno really. I don't see Amy going that far to write a metaphore about some historic conflict between two countries... But I CAN picture her smoking weed in some spanish coast place. So for me: Jamaica = Weed.

Back when Muslim Cordoba was the most civilized city in Europe, they introduced the distillation of booze. Spain was also the only country in Europe to maintain a tradition of African - based music, kept alive by Gypsies : flamenco.
It was the sugar/rum trade that started the slave trade and eventually, through the same triangular route, re-introduced to western music what had been missing for a thousand years : soul - unlimited ranges of tonality and rhythm.

LOL I still think that we're going a bit far to try and get a propper meaning.

Considering what Alan said about Spain = Alcohol (which could be something along those lines really) I've tought that perharps she's talking about sangria (which english people seem to adore) or even paella Yet I still think she means she's smoking weed (Jamaica) in Spain.

[PabloD]

It really is. Very very very common...you'd be suprised. I didn't realised that myself until I started doing it thou.

A lot of the marijuana breeders and seed producers have moved out of Amsterdam headed for Spain. Amsterdam was changing political climate so they booked.
I don't know the laws in Spain but the big boys do.
