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.
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
He lives in a small flat all alone
In the middle of a run down street
Spends most evenings up the pub
Drinking what he earned that week
Harry keeps to himself
Lives a quiet life
No one can remember
When Harry lost his mind
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Oh Uncle Harry you've done it all again
You're pissing in the bath every now and then
I caught you in the wrong place
I caught you out of line
I tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time
Do it all the time
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Poor Uncle Harry lost his mind along the way
Poor Uncle Harry happened twenty years today
Comes around to say hello
Little did we know
He's up to his old dirty tricks again
Oh Uncle Harry, you've done it all again
Oh Uncle Harry
We really shouldn't laugh
But every time we turn around
You're pissing in the bath
It's just a silly habit
And we can't help but remind
We tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
He lives in a small flat all alone
In the middle of a run down street
Spends most evenings up the pub
Drinking what he earned that week
Harry keeps to himself
Lives a quiet life
No one can remember
When Harry lost his mind
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Oh Uncle Harry you've done it all again
You're pissing in the bath every now and then
I caught you in the wrong place
I caught you out of line
I tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time
Do it all the time
Whoa
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath
Uncle Harry pissing in the bath
Whoa, pissing in the bath again
Poor Uncle Harry lost his mind along the way
Poor Uncle Harry happened twenty years today
Comes around to say hello
Little did we know
He's up to his old dirty tricks again
Oh Uncle Harry, you've done it all again
Oh Uncle Harry
We really shouldn't laugh
But every time we turn around
You're pissing in the bath
It's just a silly habit
And we can't help but remind
We tell you not to do it
But you do it all the time

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 find this song is 1 to make me smile i put it on when im feelin a bit blue!:P
does this song mean anything specific? if sounds like it has a specific meaning, and it's not just supposed to be a fun song. i don't know, that's just what it seems like to me. anyone know?
well i think hes just mad at his uncle cause he keeps pissing in his bath tub
well they sound like there tryin to sound like dropkick murphys
err,as if theyre trying to sound like dropkicks :S
UnitedWeFall, if you listened to any of their other songs you would know that they're not trying to sound like Dropkick. This song doesn't even sound like them...Chris can actually sing.
hahaha yeah good call wayne, chris is a fucking champ at singing and a freak at guitar. saw these guys live, they rock hard. yeah its pretty self explainatory: about uncle harry whos a piss head (get it, PISS head) and has no life. it sounds like a sorta pub anthem. i could imagine everyone in a pub yelling UNCLE HARRY PISSIN IN THA BAAAAAATH (maybe it's coz it starts with background sounds of a pub)
Yeh and I'll just point out that in Australia, pissing can also mean drinking... we're disgusting, we refer to alcohol as piss. Maybe cos its bubbly and sumtimes yellow. But ironically after u drink it, ur own piss goes clear...
...wow, I think I've just reached enlightenment.
Im pretty sure its about one of their family members having Alsimers... i remember reading that however as with all things read.. it could have been fabricated.
no he is pissin in the bath coz hes pissed as in urineating in the bath coz he is intoxicated
