Waiting for the phone to ring, diamond necklace on my shoulder.
Waiting for the phone to ring, lipstick on my neck and shoulder.
It seems to be my fancy, to make it with Frank and Nancy when,

Over the bridge we go, looking for love...
Over the bridge we go, looking for love...

I'll come running to you, oh, baby if you want me,
I'll...I...ll, I'll come running to you now, baby, if you want me,
I'll...I...I; Looking at my hands today,
Look to me that they're made of ivory.
Had a funny call today, someone died and someone's married.
You know that it's my fancy, to make it with Frank and Nancy when,

Over the bridge they go, looking for love...
Over the bridge we...go, looking for love...
I'll come running to you, now, baby, if you want me,
I'll...I...ll, I'll come running to you, baby, if you want me,
Now-that-I'm-ready...I'll come running to you now, baby, if you want me,
Now-that-I...I'll come running to you, baby, if you want me,
And something's got a hold on me.

It's the beginning of the new age...Oh, I don't know what it was.
It's the beginning of the new age...Can you see and tell for yourself?
Yes, it's the beginning of the new age...
Oh, you little, sick little fox, yes,
It's the beginning of the new age...

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
