Some cats they know how to fight
Some cats run
I'm a thousand generations ahead of them
Cool as they come
See all my suits are Calvin Klein
My lucky number: sixty nine
I got all the things I need
It's the nature of my breed
I'm independent
Smooth and confident
Always in command
With a graceful element
A taste for compliment
Do you know who I am?
Look up, look down, watch out, the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm a deadly handsome man
Look up, look down, watch out, the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm the lion in the lamb
Everywhere I go I make a scene
The ladies love to stroke me, yeah
Pimped out and lazy in my limousine
Oh, come on here sweetie
Everything I say - like Socrates
Most people love to quote me
My real name is Mephistopheles
But you can call me baby
See all my suits are Calvin Klein
My lucky number: sixty nine
I got all the things I need
It's the nature of my breed
I'm independent
Smooth and confident
Always in command
With a graceful element
A taste for compliment
Do you know who I am?
Look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm a deadly handsome man
Look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm the lion in the lamb
Look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm a deadly handsome man
Look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight
I'm the lion in the lamb

    This song is better than Sex and Candy. A lot are, but since I'm on this page now, I'll say it here. It makes me mad... Now all everyone remembers is "I smell sex and... Cand-ayy". That's not all this band is made of.

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.
