Made from your parents? No, I don't believe it
Beings further out there: they must have conceived it
The "it" that I speak of is naturally you
You're something they crafted and inward you flew
Fifty-first area: five, seven inches
Set in your ways and without any flinches
Your friends even say that you're not of this world
The captains said we're gonna craft us a girl

A gift from a flying saucer or cup
They gave you to me and I coughed you right up

Alien, where on earth have you gone?
Men aren't forgiven for deeds they've done wrong
Mortals like me receive only one chance
Once lost, we can only watch stars in a trance
Alien
Alien

E.T., M.D. was the alien surgeon
Materials surely were properly mergin'
You lay on the table and underwent birth
The foreign construction: it showed off its worth
Then you were done with no need for enhancement
They stared at their project in captive entrancement
They raised their antennae and looked at their work
A sculptor so praised that his pride went berserk

A gift from a flying saucer or cup
They gave you to me and I coughed you right up

Alien, where on earth have you gone?
Men aren't forgiven for deeds they've done wrong
Mortals like me receive only one chance
Once lost, we can only watch stars in a trance
Alien
Alien

I stared at the craft when they brought you to me
I stared when it took off in spite of my plea
You're bound for much better and ready to fly
Blonde streaks away like a star in the sky

Alien, where on earth have you gone?
Men aren't forgiven for deeds they've done wrong
Mortals like me receive only one chance
Once lost, we can only watch stars in a trance
Alien
Alien

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.
