This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Dog at the window still, looks all day never gets her fill
'Cause a glance means a chance to break the birds out congregating
I have seen a look like that, you licked your chops from where you sat
Make your kill for a thrill and you don't mind waiting
Rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
When it bums you out, all the hunters sprung to pounce
And at best it's a mess like a nest infested
You remember there's more than this
There always was and always is
Tend the artist in your charges, you are full invested
Rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
And if you need to, read your mindless mag
Call me up for tickets, we'll go see Sugarland
And it gets better even when it's been a drag
Just move to the music, move your body to the band and
Rise up
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Come on, come on
Oh, the summers' coming
The rain's been heavy and the rivers runin'
Loose the calf, it's been tough
But it's fast and groovin'
We got sticks to a hundred piles
We got stories that lead to smiles
We gotta twirl with this world
I can feel it movin'
Rise up your dead
There's a life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
There's a life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
'Cause a glance means a chance to break the birds out congregating
I have seen a look like that, you licked your chops from where you sat
Make your kill for a thrill and you don't mind waiting
Rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
When it bums you out, all the hunters sprung to pounce
And at best it's a mess like a nest infested
You remember there's more than this
There always was and always is
Tend the artist in your charges, you are full invested
Rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
And if you need to, read your mindless mag
Call me up for tickets, we'll go see Sugarland
And it gets better even when it's been a drag
Just move to the music, move your body to the band and
Rise up
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
Come on, come on
Oh, the summers' coming
The rain's been heavy and the rivers runin'
Loose the calf, it's been tough
But it's fast and groovin'
We got sticks to a hundred piles
We got stories that lead to smiles
We gotta twirl with this world
I can feel it movin'
Rise up your dead
There's a life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead
Rise up your dead
There's a life in the old girl yet
Rise up your dead

Plastic Bag
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.
