Mr. Twimble
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Yes?
[FINCH:]
You've been with this company a long time, haven't you?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A long, long time. Just last month I became a quarter of a century man
[FINCH:]
Aww, that's beautiful! Gee, a quarter of a century!
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A quarter of a century!
[FINCH:]
And how long have you been in the mailroom?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
25 years. Yep! It takes a combination of skill, diplomacy and bold caution
When I joined this firm
As a brash young man
Well I said to myself now brash young man
Don't get any ideas, well, I stuck to that
And haven't had one in years.
[FINCH:]
Ah, you play it safe
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I play it the company way.
Wherever the company puts me
There I'll stay.
[FINCH:]
But what's your point of view?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I have no point of view!
[FINCH:]
Supposing the company thinks
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I think so too!
[FINCH:]
Now, what would you say if they put you-
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I wouldn't say!
[FINCH:]
You're facing the company face
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
It smiles at executives
then goes back in place!
[FINCH:]
The company furniture...
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Oh, it suits me fine!
[FINCH:]
The company letterhead...
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
A Valentine!
[FINCH:]
Is there anything you're against?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Unemployment!
[FINCH:]
When they want brilliant thinking
from employees
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
That is no concern of mine
[FINCH:]
Suppose a man of genius make suggestions
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
What's that genius get suggested to resign?
[FINCH:]
So, you play it the company way?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Oh, company policy is by me ok.
[FINCH:]
You'll never rise up to the top
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
But there's one thing clear
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here!
[FINCH:]
Oh, you certainly found a home.
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
It's cozy
[FINCH:]
Your brain is a company brain.
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
The company washed it,
Now I can't complain.
[FINCH:]
The company magazine...
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Know what style, what punch
[FINCH:]
The company restaurant
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Every day same lunch.
Their hattock sandwich, it's delicious.
[FINCH:]
I must try it!
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Early in the week.
[FINCH:]
Do you have any hobbies?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
I've a hobby, I play gin with Mr. Bratt.
[FINCH:]
And do you play it nicely?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Play it nicely, still he blitzes me on every game like that!
[FINCH:]
Why?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
'Cause I play it the company way.
Executive policy is by me ok
[FINCH:]
How can you get anywhere?
[MR. TWIMBLE:]
Junior have no fear.
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here.
[FINCH:]
You will still be here.
[MR. TWIMBLE:]

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
