Was the name of the book
He never, never, never wrote
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
We paved the roads
We really blanketed everything
We never, never, never wrote
He tried the West
He really studied the signs
He never, never, never wrote
He never, never wrote
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
We paved the roads
We really blanketed everything
We never, never, never wrote
We never, never wrote
We never, never wrote
We never, never wrote
Was the name of the book
He never, never, never wrote
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
We paved the roads
We really blanketed everything
We never, never, never wrote
He tried the West
He really studied the signs
He never, never, never wrote
He never, never wrote
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard, man overboard
Man overboard
We paved the roads
We really blanketed everything
We never, never, never wrote
We never, never wrote
We never, never wrote
We never, never wrote

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.
I think "waitingforsunday" is spot-on with this one. To me, the meaning of the lyrics are pretty obvious and straight-forward . Eloquence without verbosity. It reads like a short poem.
As can be related to by a lot of us, the opportunities were presented, but never jumped on. The ambitions were there, but the motivation was not. He even moved out West because of all of the "potential", but didn't get anywhere. Now everything passed him by and he feels like he has no more control and doesn't know what to do.
