Plain talking (plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strung out old stars (like strung out old stars)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
We traveled through hell (traveled through hell)
Know how we felt (oh how we felt)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Plain talking (plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strung out and cold (strung out and cold)
I'm feeling so old (feeling so old)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Has ruined us now (ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

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.
