This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Making me feel that I'm wanted
Is making me see that you know what I need
Your breaking the rules 'cause' you want it
there's so much you can do that will make me see that
Making me love and adore you (baby)
Is making the most of the way that I feel
I'm taking a chance moving for you
'cause' when you touch me I just can't believe that its real
So come on baby do it to me good now
Do it to me slowly (oh yeah)
Be the one and only (ah ah yeah)
And do it to me right now
Baby,baby
Make me believe that you want it
And make me believe that you'll always be true
You better not lie or decieve me
If you do then we're through so it up to you
Take me to places I've never,ever,ever been able to go
You're taking it higher and higher
You know that its so,get it on lets go
So come on baby do it to me good now
Do it to me slowly (oh yeah)
Be the one and only (ah ah yeah)
And do it to me right now (do it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And come on baby do it to me good
Do it like you should (oh yeah)
Like you said you would (ah ah yeah)
And do it to me right now (right now)
there's a party in my head
But you should have been in bed with me now (what ya say,what ya say,yeah)
Well you started on my head
Better finish what you said to me now (what ya say,what ya say,yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
So come on baby do it to me good now
Do it to me slowly (come on baby)
Be the one and only (ah ah yeah)
And do it to me right now (And be the one and only)
And come on baby do it to me good

“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.
what guy doesn't love some girl saying "do it to me right now"? lol There are actually 2 versions of this song: the original (on their 1st album) and a re-release in '04. The '04 version is much better!
