If you think, the world owes you a ride,
You'll never find the reason why,
Boy you know it's down to you.
Looking down, you'll only see your own two feet,

Mama used to say to me,
Take a walk down Angel Street.
So sweet thing, Have I got news for you,
Come and taste my soul food,

So what have you got to lose?
Angel Street,
Stand on your own two feet,
'Cause baby can't you see?

If we're to stay alive
Only the strong survive.
Don't you know, if you can't respect yourself,
You'll be left on the shelf,

No one's gonna carry you.
Walkin' tall, dreamin' of love and pride
Reachin' up to the sky
Arms and eyes are open wide.

So come on, lets climb the stairs out of this,
Make a wish and steal a kiss,
Boy what have you got to lose?
Angel Street,

Stand on your own two feet,
'Cause baby can't you see?
If were to stay alive
Only the strong survive.

Angel Street,
Stand on your own two feet,
'Cause baby can't you see?
If were to stay alive

Only the strong survive.
(Take a walk, Take a walk, on Angel Street)
(Take a walk, Take a walk, on Angel Street)
(Take a walk, Take a walk, on Angel Street)

Only the strong survive,
Way way down
Angel Street,
Stand on your own two feet,

'Cause baby can't you see?
If were to stay alive
Only the strong survive.
Angel Street,

Stand on your own two feet,
'Cause baby can't you see?
If were to stay alive
Only the strong survive.

(Angel Street)
(Angel Street)
(Angel Street)
(Angel Street)

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.
