Tic toc, 1 listen to the clock
I wonder if she's gonna come over
Or if she's gonna stay away, again today
Tic toe, why don't the bummer stop
She's late, just look at the clock I'm f ***ed,
already missing her a lot
This is all she seems to do
This is all f need to know
0 Eleanore why don't you show
Tic toc, I'm running out of luck
I know Eleanore is gone now
She's gonna lend someone a f.f.f.f.f.
They say, it's all a big mistake
And that it's more than I should take
0 yet I love her so, still she don't seem to behave though
This is all she seems to do
This is all I need to know
0 Eleanore why don't you show
I wish you could star in all of my shows
a different soap everyday to suit you.
Never gonna go anywhere you know Eleanore
O no, I'm never gonna go anywhere you know Eleanore
'cause I'm all yours, love
Tic toc, I'm thinking about a lot
Why does beauty always stop and
Makes you wish you had a brick for a heart
So true, I got a lot to do
Can always read a book or even
Watch 'have I got news for you'
This is all I seem to do
It ain't much f need to know
0 Eleanore I can't let go

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.
