This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I drove a tank in on the left, i hid a rifle on the right
When she said,
"I see a tunnel, and at the end I see a light"
"I see a fire on the water on the right bank and the left"
(And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress)
CHORUS
I said come on
You're telling me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up
I said come on
You're telling me to see the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
I see a preacher with a secret and he dare not make a sound
"I see the smoke and fire and the market burning down"
I se a tulip on a grave of a lover who confess
"I'm a soldier and a poet, but I'm a dancer at best"
CHORUS
I'm burning houses baby
I'm burning bridges baby
I drove a tank in on the left, i hid a rifle on the right
When she said,
"I see a tunnel, and at the end I see a light"
"I see a fire on the water on the right bank and the left"
(And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress)
CHORUS x2
When she said,
"I see a tunnel, and at the end I see a light"
"I see a fire on the water on the right bank and the left"
(And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress)
CHORUS
I said come on
You're telling me to see the truth even with my eyes sewn up
I said come on
You're telling me to see the truth even with my mouth sewn shut
I see a preacher with a secret and he dare not make a sound
"I see the smoke and fire and the market burning down"
I se a tulip on a grave of a lover who confess
"I'm a soldier and a poet, but I'm a dancer at best"
CHORUS
I'm burning houses baby
I'm burning bridges baby
I drove a tank in on the left, i hid a rifle on the right
When she said,
"I see a tunnel, and at the end I see a light"
"I see a fire on the water on the right bank and the left"
(And she smiles when she wears the iron curtain as a dress)
CHORUS x2

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
Good song, the lead singer is wicked funny on stage, saw them a few nights ago.
