Wicked Man

Therapy?

My C.V. reads a long list of mistakes and regrets
Bad decisions, aftermaths and unmade beds
I've plastered over cracks and tried to mend what I can
To you I'm still a wicked man

Well my C.V. reads a long list of unrights and some wrongs
I could explain but it would take me way too long
My wife is a robot, my baby's cot
Is a heavy-metal parking lot

I've tried to read a poetry to hold up his plan
I've tried like a sane but I buried the damned
I even sold my soul for a millions, not gold
I'll only drive when I am told

I'm a wicked man I get what I deserve
'Coz I'm a wicked man
A wicked man
A wicked man
Nurse, it's getting worse
You've got to, you got to, got to, got to, help me

Well, I've lied to myself so much I believe it's true
But all the hidden secrets you already knew
And all the unexplained that tore us apart
To them I'm just a tart with the heart

- Guitar solo -

I'm a wicked man I get what I deserve
'Coz I'm a wicked man
Wicked man
A wicked man
Nurse, it's getting worse
You've got to, you've got to, got to, got to, help me

My C.V. is a long list of mistakes and regrets
I bruise to remember, I drink to forget
I've plastered over cracks but you don't understand
To you I'm still a wicked man
To you I'm still a wicked man
To you I'm still a wicked man

    It's about Iggy Pop.

    A few corrections: The third verse goes: 'From drudgery to buggery, a whole life is planned I tried like a saint, but I failed with the damned I even sold my soul for a beer that's not cold I'll only die when I am told'

    And it's tart with A heart, not THE heart.

Plastic Bag
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.
