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.
Hey la la...Hey la la...
Didn't know what time it was, and the lights were low - ow - ow
I leaned back on my radio - o - o
Some cat was laying down some rock 'n' roll, "lotta soul", he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fa - a - ade,
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha - a - ase
That weren't no D.J., that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children play
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you - ou - ou
Hey, that's far out, so you heard tim too - oo - oo
Switch on the T.V., we may pick him on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his ligh - igh - ight
If we can sparkle he may land tonigh - igh - ight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children play, let the children learn

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.
does this song come out on any cds?
This is a cover of a David Bowie song. It's a great song but it doesn't really belong listed under Dar (as much as I love her).
This is a great sci-fi song and so not like Dar's usual style (probably since it's a cover). This is what it says at the beginning of the song:
Echo, echo, echo, echo..
It’s nine minutes till the new millennium Earth children have successfully united In a partnership for a drug-free planet Notably with no socio-political or cultural replacement for the drugs they’ve forsaken
Meanwhile on the 34th floor of Happiness Limited, Barton Buck kicks back two xanax With some scotch that he was going to give his doorman He puts in a call to a newly acquired Home thousand-watt radio station He has a ticket giveaway for a new multiplex At a suburban mall There’s no answer
It’s eight minutes, forty seconds to the new millennium And Happiness Limited has lost contact with the youth of the world
Yeah that's it...what's the bit she says at the beginning about or referring to???
