Mr. Sheep

Randy Newman

Golly, Mister, where you going?
You'll be late for work
Careful or you'll drop your briefcase Jesus, what a jerk
There he goes Down to the subway

Off to catch the train
Too bad for him
He forgot his umbrella
Poor Mr. Sheep

You're wet Mr. Sheep
Walk on,
Mr. Sheep Walk on Tell me,
How's your little family?

How's your little wife?
Are you going to live with these monsters
For the rest of your life?
Maybe you got a little girlfriend

Stashed somewhere in town
May be you ain't got a little girlfriend
Ha ha ha ha ha
Poor Mr. Sheep

He's a lonely guy too
Walk on Mr. Sheep
Walk on Dance, Mister!
Hey, he's doin'

OK Oh, oh Oh, he's all right
Let him get up by himself
Now I don't want to be too rough
And I don't want to be too mean

You're right -
This world is awful tough
I know exactly what you mean
But I want you to know

Exactly how I feel
And to tell you the truth
Right now I feel like going
I feel like going

Baa Baa Mr. Sheep Careful,
You're walking all over your own self now
Walk on,
Mr. Sheep Walk on,

Mr. Sheep Walk on,
Mr. Sheep Walk on

    It's about having diarrhea in the back of a tour bus.

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.
