This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You'll never fumigate the demons
No matter how much you smoke
So just say you love me
For three good reasons
And I'll throw you the rope
You don't need it
Because you are the survivor
Of more than one life
And you're the only lover I had
Who ever slept with a knife
But you're not Judy Garland
Oh just like me you've never really had a home of your own
But I'm not Tony Hancock, baby
Until the dawn
We'll stone the crows
We'll stone the crows
We'll stone the crows
And you see I've brought you flowers
I've brought you flowers all collected from the Old Vic Stage
Well I've been sitting here for hours, baby
Just chasing these words across the page
You're my Waterloo
Well I'll be your Gypsy Lane
I'm so glad we know just what to do
And exactly who's to blame
And you're my Waterloo
I'll be your Stanley Park
Well I'm so glad we know just what to do
And no one's left
Stumbling around
Tumbling around
Fumbling around In the dark
Always in the dark
Always in the dark
Always in the dark
You're my Waterloo
I'll be your Calvary
I'm so glad we know just what to do
And everyone's gonna be happy
Everyone's gonna be happy
Everyone's gonna be happy
But of course
No matter how much you smoke
So just say you love me
For three good reasons
And I'll throw you the rope
You don't need it
Because you are the survivor
Of more than one life
And you're the only lover I had
Who ever slept with a knife
But you're not Judy Garland
Oh just like me you've never really had a home of your own
But I'm not Tony Hancock, baby
Until the dawn
We'll stone the crows
We'll stone the crows
We'll stone the crows
And you see I've brought you flowers
I've brought you flowers all collected from the Old Vic Stage
Well I've been sitting here for hours, baby
Just chasing these words across the page
You're my Waterloo
Well I'll be your Gypsy Lane
I'm so glad we know just what to do
And exactly who's to blame
And you're my Waterloo
I'll be your Stanley Park
Well I'm so glad we know just what to do
And no one's left
Stumbling around
Tumbling around
Fumbling around In the dark
Always in the dark
Always in the dark
Always in the dark
You're my Waterloo
I'll be your Calvary
I'm so glad we know just what to do
And everyone's gonna be happy
Everyone's gonna be happy
Everyone's gonna be happy
But of course

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Waterloo is actually more commonly used as a synonym of defeat rather than victory, as it was at Waterloo Napoleon got beaten - Which would mean "You're my waterloo" would rather mean "You're my only defeat". He's saying that, maybe because Carlos really got close to Pete then really hurt him - Pete doesn't normally let people get close enough to him, because then he can not be hurt. So maybe, he means that Carl and the things he did, was Pete's only defeat. The first time he let someone in, was the first time he got hurt, therefor he will forever have problems doing it again - just as Napoleons confidence was reduced after the battle at Waterloo.
And as for Carl and Pete having a sexual relationship has been denied by both parts - If you say you don't trust their words, then you can't trust the songs and it all will mean nothing at all to you.
