Got an open mouth and open sores too
Got an oversized opinion of you
Got a long race and no chance to lose
Got an oversized opinion for two

Got an open mouth and open sores too
Got an indifferent opinion of you
Got an open mouth and nothin to lose
Got an oversized opinion of you

Oh, knocked down
Take back these pictures off the ground
Oh, knocked down

You act like I'm plenty okay and I'm not okay, though
Well, think it over, I've got a four leaf clover
You act like I'm plenty okay and I'm not okay, though
Think it over, I've got a four leaf clover

You act like you're plenty okay and are you okay, though?
Well, think it over, I've got a four leaf clover
You act like you're plenty okay and are you okay, though?
You think it over, I keep just getting nauseous

    I definatly think it's saying this isn't over, I've got a four leaf clover (which would make sense with the off the ground part).

    I aslo think that part that is almost completely unable to be understood says something about God putting your past behind you. I hear God the second time, but not the first and I hear past behind you both times.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Magical
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
“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.
