The guys are feeling good about their liquor run
The girls are kinda flirting with the setting sun
We all kind of fumbled through the jitter bug
We were all powered up on some new upper drug
And everything was partying
Everyone was pretty
And everyone was coming towards the center of the city
The dance floor was crowded, the bathrooms were worse
We kissed in your car and we drank from your purse
I had my mouth on her nose when the chaperon said we were dancing too close

We had some massive nights
We got the songs just right
And all I want is time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool

There weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
Some guys they get a little bit uptight
Some girls they got something to prove
We had some massive highs
We had some crushing lows
We had some lusty little crushes
We had those all-ages hardcore matinee shows
And I was down on my knees when the chaperon said that it was time for me to leave

We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool
There weren't any fights
There's usually one or two
Some guys they get a little bit uptight
Some girls they got something to prove

We had some massive nights
There were some massive nights
We had some massive nights
Every song was right
And all I wanted was time
Yea your friends are pretty cool and my friends were acting cool

She had a gun in her mouth
And she was shootin' up at her dreams
When the chaperon said that we'd been crowned
The king and the queen

    "i had my mouth on her nose when the chaperone said we were dancing too close" that line just makes me think of high school dances, ah young love.

    "she had a gun in her mouth and she was shootin' up at her dreams when the chaperon said that we'd been crowned the king and the queen" shootin up at her dreams? aiming for her head? the girl is suicidal, even though shes had such massive nights & cool friends. & shes the perfect highschool girl with only pretty friends & the best drugs, she was crowned queen, but it was all just an act.

    I'm pretty sure it's "shooting up IN her dreams."

    "we were all powered on some new upper drug," wow, so true. he's talking mostly about ADD medications that everybody and their mother can get prescribed like adderall, vivance, focalin, dexedrene, etc.

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.
