We walk out like lions short on prey and move noisily toward the gate
All pride, how wide are my eyes?
Are you hungry now?
Are you hungry now?
We like to watch the fights break out and end in grief from these cheap plastic seats
And hold each other a little closer

We've got a place for the night
What are you worried about?
We've got our answerphones
Are you hungry now?
what are you hungry for?
We've got our alibis straight
What are you worried about?
I think I liked you more when you were worse
(Are you hungry now? What are you hungry for?)

Blackbird on my back again
I caught a shock but my heart's still beating
Stop shaking your hips at me
You could learn a little less from photography, sure
We like to watch the fights break out and end in grief from these cheap plastic seats
And hold each other a little closer

We've got our friends in the city
What are you worried about?
We've got our alibis
Are you hungry now?
What are you hungry for?
We've got our answerphones on
What are you worried about?
I think I liked you more when you were worse

And in the point between the rain outside and hanging suspended in the air and the room around you spinning.
You'll find the time if you need it. 2,500 miles apart and I never saw it clearer.
We prayed for moments like this. Little sparks, little hits from someone else's God.
How hanging out of the 15th storey windows never felt so relaxing.
Bring out the real fun, turn on the real drums.

Doot doot doot doot doot

    AllyS2 was mostly right with the spoken part but it's not "someone elses God" rather "someone elses girl"

    :)

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.

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.
