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.
She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
"Oh, what a morning"
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just lying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's the hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
Ahh
Ahh
All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
All that she wants
All that she wants
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
"Oh, what a morning"
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just lying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's the hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
Ahh
Ahh
All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
All that she wants is another baby (is another baby)
She's gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby, yeah (is another baby, yeah)
All that she wants
All that she wants

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
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 think this song is about a girl who just play with boys, she's lonely, and i think she's sad, and she wants to have a lot of guys in just one night stand, and leave them in love with her at the next morning, she has evil ways, but she's not bad, she's just depressed.
Jeez, I can't believe how stupid I was - I always thought this was some bizarre song about a woman who wanted a baby - literally. The colloquial use of 'baby' did not occur to me with regards to this song. Another lover. So I always just thought it was an extremely odd song about an extremely weird woman. HA!
@Heliamphora HAHA, same here !! lool<br /> And now reading through the lyrics, the hunter and the fox stuff... thinking "Man she wants that little baby so hard..."
@Heliamphora Nowadays, she may want "another baby,", especially for welfare and child support. There are single women with numerous children from as many men to collect a child support check and get all the welfare subsidies.
@Heliamphora "Nowadays, she may want "another baby,", especially for welfare and child support.

Straight from Reagan propaganda in the 80's.
I LOVE this song! OMG the memories Ace of Base brings back, lmao. It's about a girl who's basically a vixen, and instead of working she likes to lounge around, get a tan, and treat herself like a queen. She's always on the lookout for guys, but she just wants some fun. She'll be with him for the night,ya know a one night stand, and then she's gone in the morning...ready for her next "baby"
I used to think this was about a girl who was going on holiday to find a man for a one-night stand so she could get pregnant and not have to have the guy around. And that 'another' baby was because she had a miscarriage or something. Man, my mind is a dark and horrible place.
Mike... :)<br /> <br /> You don't know me but buddy you made me laugh so much that I was really unable to control myself. Pls. excuse my overly expression of feelings but its been more than a year for me trying to get over a breakup with a woman who has had 15 boyfriends or relationships by the age of 30 and although I knew it all but she was so much successful to make a big fool out of me. No doubt Adam was deceived so successfully by Eve in the heaven! Phew.... women... Grrrrrrr!!!! :)<br /> <br /> You did make my day and I just wanted to thank that beautiful mind of yours which you called as "dark and horrible place" lolz!!! Pls. accept my heartiest thanks for being yourself there! Sometimes we say some words in our innocence that they are able to cause a profound impact on someone else' life without our own knowledge.<br /> <br /> Thanks again buddy :) if you happen to be in NY or just wish to say hi, here's my number 201-204-9015<br /> <br /> amir
Did she have any children? Because you're not a BIG fool until you get into a relationship with a woman who has given birth 5 times and each child has a different daddy and you're suckered into believing she's the abused ex-wife when the judges awarded full custody to the two dads she actually married. 3 of her children don't even know who their real dads are and every six months she brings home a new "daddy".<br /> I would just love to see someone see through her deception and put her in her place- in a straight jacket at a mental institute. Those children are innocent victims of her insanity.<br /> <br /> And for the record, Adam wasn't deceived by Eve, he knew what he was doing and voluntarily left with her because they were commanded to stay together. But I know what you're getting at, some women just really know how to play the innocent victim and are just full of lies. Just don't accuse Eve of such things. :)
@WavinGerbs I'm SO glad to know I'm not the only one! In '93 I jammed out to this, I was 6, then when I was 8, I was like, "huh?!"
@WavinGerbs I hope that your mind is in a much better place now.
i think this is about like a lady who is like missing something and she fills it with a guy. She wants to feel loved because she feels empty and the guy will make her feel loved for that one night of passion and than she'll leave and look for another baby to fill her soul.
The girl in this song reminds me of the chicks I see every day on the Maury Show-
Maury- "[Guy's name], you ARE the father!" ATSW Girl- "I told you dat's yo' baby! Pay me my child support! Where my money at?!?"

This song is exactly what it sounds like to me. As Heliamphora once thought it meant, she literally wants another baby, and it's a strange song about a strange woman. It has a very literal meaning for me and I cannot hear this song any other way. I know a woman exactly like this. She has given birth 5 times, each baby has a different father. The first one was given up for adoption, the next two are under custody of the fathers, and the two after that don't even know who their fathers are. It's a cycle for her, every six months she hooks up with a guy until she gets pregnant, then she kicks the guy out so she can keep the baby. Six months after the baby is born, she's starting over with another guy. It's really sad. It's a sad song about a woman with a serious mental illness and the men who fall victim to her wiles because they just want to help an "abused" welfare mom.
Exactly how I hear it too. And especially nasty how it's expressed by another woman – the vocals of Ace of Base, who, oddly, don't look the part ether way. Not that looks matter, but since we're calling a duck for a duck...
I can't hear it any other way, either, because it happened to me...
but what is time anyway <br /> (other than a minor demon in the pantheon of adversaries...)<br /> <br /> This song is an anthem to teen pregnancy in the welfare state - OR a glimpse into the mind of an a beach combing man-hunter...
This song just came on the radio and reminded me about it. I miss these hearing it...it used to be on all the time...times change tho it seems. I don't think she wants a child, just a man, which it seems she'll be getting.
Yep. She always wanted a man and that's what she ended up with although most of the band members aren't so lucky. I'm so excited about the new album though! :)
