I----I pushed off the pier
Infinity ran cold
And filled up my ears
There’s the weapon you hold;
There’s the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear.
Oh the speed of a year
It runs the wood dry
And water unclear
There’s the thing you hold high;
Then there’s the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear.
I will be an enemy to men seen in the light!
Do you think it’s all right?
Yes, I think it’s all right!
It’s all right!
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
So I’ll be out till the shimmering dies
I said I’ll be out till the shimmering dies
It’s the reigning of the predatory nature of the sky
And the ringing sound it makes when it’s burning out your eyes
It’s all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!
It’s the speed of the light
It’s the speed of a year
It’s the weapon you hold,
And the thing you hold dear.
OH my dear, oh my dear
It’s infinity’s time to shine out here.
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear.
Da-da-da-dum…
I heard them say, “put the weapon away”.
It’s the thing you know and they’re taking it away
I know
But I’ll find a way
I’ll find a way to let the dear thing GO!
Bum….bum…ba-da-dum…
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear.
Infinity ran cold
And filled up my ears
There’s the weapon you hold;
There’s the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear.
Oh the speed of a year
It runs the wood dry
And water unclear
There’s the thing you hold high;
Then there’s the thing that you hold it to
And the thing you hold dear.
I will be an enemy to men seen in the light!
Do you think it’s all right?
Yes, I think it’s all right!
It’s all right!
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
So I’ll be out till the shimmering dies
I said I’ll be out till the shimmering dies
It’s the reigning of the predatory nature of the sky
And the ringing sound it makes when it’s burning out your eyes
It’s all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!
It’s the speed of the light
It’s the speed of a year
It’s the weapon you hold,
And the thing you hold dear.
OH my dear, oh my dear
It’s infinity’s time to shine out here.
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear.
Da-da-da-dum…
I heard them say, “put the weapon away”.
It’s the thing you know and they’re taking it away
I know
But I’ll find a way
I’ll find a way to let the dear thing GO!
Bum….bum…ba-da-dum…
If you make the waves
The sun makes the rays
The speed of the light
Can be trusted to prey
To prey on the fools
That pushed off your pier
The whirling of pools runs clear
Da-da-da-dum…
The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors
The whirling of pools running clear.

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.
this song is awsome just listened to it today and then listened to it again and again and again and again....
"Shimmering," not "shivering."
Damn good tune.
love that little guitar at the start - reminds me of "Bees" from AC. great song - yes.
Actually the first bit of the songs seems almost Beatles-esque. Is it just me?
song* (Sorry I'm a spelling nazi)
I think this song is about intelligence and reason in these days of 'men of faith' and how valuable and rare these qualities are in people.
And I love the sea-like sound of the song.

"I'll find a way to let the DEAR thing go." (as in "the thing you hold dear")
not
"I'll find a way to let you tear the thing go."
