My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll [Repeat: x 3]
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control.
And yes it frustrates, lets let him make his own mistakes.
See him on the dance floor go now, boy those moves I just don't know how.

My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll [Repeat: x 3]
He's only 22 and he's out of control.
How's he living? With all of that unforgiving.
See him on the dance floor go now, boy those moves I just don't know how.

My little Brother just discovered Rock and Roll [Repeat: x 3]
He's only 22 and he's out of control.
He no longer likes A-sides, he made me a tape of Bootlegs and b-sides.
And every song on that tape said, every single song said,

I want our parents to worry about us. All we ever wanted is for our parents to worry about us.
It's all anybody really wants.

My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll x 3

My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll
Stay off the Crack!

    I guess he and his brother don't have the same taste in music, maybe? It sounds to me as though the singer also feels that there's stuff wrong with his music as well...I don't really know, the meaning seems pretty blatant, as are most of Art Brut's songs.

    Song Meaning

    I think that it's a metaphor for his little brother being on drugs. Just discovering rock n'roll is slang for just getting into drugs. His brother is obviously an unhappy, troubled person ("how's he living / with all that unforgiving" and "why don't our parents worry about us") and Eddie is showing his sympathy and support for him. An educated guess, considering the improv parts I've seen Eddie perform during live versions of the song.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
