Oh Mr. Pleasant, how is Mrs. Pleasant
I hope the world is treating you right
And your head’s in the air
And you’re feeling so proud
Cause you’re such a success
And the whole wide world is on your side, hey, hey
How are you today
People say Mr. Pleasant is good
Mr. Pleasant is kind
Mr. Pleasant’s okay
Mr. Pleasant don’t mind
As long as Mr. Pleasant’s all right, hey, hey
How are you today
How’s your father, how’s your mother
How’s your sister, how’s your brother
How’s your brand, new limousine
Twenty-four inch TV screen
Did you like prosperity
More than you liked poverty
Life is easier, so much easier
Life is easier now
Oh Mr. pleasant, how is Mrs. pleasant
Did you know she was flirting around
With another young man
And he’s taking her out
When you have to work late
And it’s not so pleasant after all, hey, hey
How are you today
People say Mr. Pleasant is good
Mr. Pleasant is kind
Mr. Pleasant’s okay
Mr. Pleasant don’t mind
As long as Mr. Pleasant’s all right, hey, hey
How are you today
Mr. Pleasant is good
Mr. Pleasant is kind
Mr. Pleasant’s okay
I hope the world is treating you right
And your head’s in the air
And you’re feeling so proud
Cause you’re such a success
And the whole wide world is on your side, hey, hey
How are you today
People say Mr. Pleasant is good
Mr. Pleasant is kind
Mr. Pleasant’s okay
Mr. Pleasant don’t mind
As long as Mr. Pleasant’s all right, hey, hey
How are you today
How’s your father, how’s your mother
How’s your sister, how’s your brother
How’s your brand, new limousine
Twenty-four inch TV screen
Did you like prosperity
More than you liked poverty
Life is easier, so much easier
Life is easier now
Oh Mr. pleasant, how is Mrs. pleasant
Did you know she was flirting around
With another young man
And he’s taking her out
When you have to work late
And it’s not so pleasant after all, hey, hey
How are you today
People say Mr. Pleasant is good

Mr. Pleasant’s okay
Mr. Pleasant don’t mind
As long as Mr. Pleasant’s all right, hey, hey

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I think this song's about a nice, friendly man who enjoys working at his job more than spending time with his family. Everybody seems to be happy with him working hard and making the extra money at the beginning, but they soon realize that there are some negatives to the situation. In short, it just asks the question that what's money worth when your life consists of all work and no play?
I agree too. Hehe my next door neighbour's daughter was listening to this on my ipod 2day. She loved it lol!
I think you're right richie. This is great song!
Yes great song with similar theme to Well Respected Man
I don't think he is "pleasant" at all. I think the character is rather arrogant that's why the singer mocks him when his woman begins stepping out. Great great song!
The black girl in the advertisement for Could I Have Lupus? is horrible. She's looking at me and frightens me.
Great use of instumentation here, layering, vocal harmonies etc all brought together with an infectious melody. Pure genius yet again Mr Davies. Thankyou.
ray's comment on dave's solo succes ?
I think it's about a hard working guy whose bored wife is cheating on him, probably with the song writer. She would have been poorly educated at that time, with no career opportunities. Because, as a musician, he did not work 9 to 5, he was well placed to take advantage of her loneliness and low self esteem. Her husband is clearly the victim in this situation, but is portrayed as somehow deserving it or even being responsible for it - mainly because he was happy and carefree until it happened. Very 60s morality. The free love philosophy morphed into take whatever you can get by whatever means, with Jimmy Saville its ultimate expression.
