Daddy makes me march across the room
He thinks that I walk weirdly for a boy
He says, Take out the swagger and don't cry to mother
And don't try to run away
'Cause you don't want to see me get annoyed
And all our momma says is
Oh my little one, I think my work is done
It's time to send you out on your own
Just take it easy and I won't have to worry about you
'Cause you can never come back home
High school isn't kind when you are different
I pretend I'm on the Enterprise searchin' for another life
And I'm sick of the soccer team
I hate having to be so mean
But I don't know how
I'll spend another year locked up inside
And all you got to say is
Oh my little one, I think my work is done
It's time to send you out on your own
Just take it easy and I won't have to worry about you
'Cause you can never come back, you can never come back
Homesick,
Homesick,
Homesick, I'm sick of being around
Some kids get allowance, some even get acceptance
Some get love
But I just get the back of his hand
My turn to say it and
So my hollow ones, I guess your work is done
You got a kid who turned out queer
And you had a special touch, I thank you very much
But I am outta here, I am outta here
Homesick,
Homesick,
Homesick,
Homesick
Homesick
I'm sick of being around

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
