This is the house she lived
It was the house she was born in
That was the bed she slept in
And this is all we are left with

And this is her mother
She goes round and round
And thinking about it
And how it all went down

This is the house she lived
It was the house she was born in
That was the bed she slept in
And this is all we are left with

And this is my heart
It's wounded even now
She ripped it apart
And fed it to the beast under the stairs

This is the house she lived
That was the house she was born in
And that was the bed she slept in
And this is all we are left with

I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
He gave his life for the nine million others

And on his grave's written "Here Lies Joseph"
"His Countries Gun And Innocent Soldier"
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

He grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
He made an easy million from a foreign investment
He danced with the Devils in beautiful buildings

Affirmative action for a useful reunion
He'd change his name if it made any difference
Now he's waiting in line for the lasting confession

On his grave's written "Here Lies Our Son Joseph"
"His Countries Gun And Innocent Soldier"
Well, fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

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.
