I get dizzy with fear
When I need her here
I know I'll drown in her wake when she appears
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard
To keep my mind clear
When all my body wants to do is shake
Before I can keep her away
She's here to ease my pain
Miss sympathy
Stay away from my door
Miss sympathy
I know what you came here for
Don't cry for me
Miss sympathy
I can hear all the others
Calling out to her
And she goes to them just the same
Once they breathe her name
She presses her lips to mine
To apologize
But I'm the one who is sorry now
Miss sympathy
Stay away form my door
Miss sympathy
I know what you came here for
Don't cry for me
Miss sympathy
Say away from my door
Her flowers are fresh
But I'm deep in debt
I've taken too much
And now I regret
That I ever let her in
How can I ever get her out
Miss sympathy
Stay away from my door
Miss sympathy
I know what you came here for
Miss sympathy
Stay away from my door
'cause I don't need anymore
SOND: never been away
How far can we go
And still come back the same
How long is the trail
That will not fade away
Well I don't know if I could ever go back to that place
What we think that we don't need
Is easy to forget
Out of sight and out of mind
And we have no regrets
Well I don't know if I could ever go back to that place
The longings that grew
Disappeared when I saw you
It's like I've never been away
Everything was clear
Like I've never been away
Just like yesterday
I thought you were a drop
In a deep black ocean
Until everything we did
Came flooding back to me
Well I don't know if I could ever go back to that place
Like I've never been away
Some things never change
Like I've never been away
Always stay the same
How far can we got and still return
Over the ask of the bridges we've burned
How far can we got and not forget
How far can we go
Well I don't know if I could ever go back to that place

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.

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.
