Take your golden tooth, try to throw it to the moon, ahh
Take your mouth and scream whistle wasted in your dreams, ahh
Take your eyes and leave, one for love and one for me, ahh
Take your ears, they must be filled with tons of meteoric dust, ahh

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
At the mountain you scream, now the fountain reveals
Has filled you up and made you whole
Goodbye, goodbye...

Take your legs and run into the death-rays of the sun, aah
Take your legs and run into the death-rays of the sun, aah
Take your legs and run into the death-rays of the sun, aah
Take your legs and run into the death-rays of the sun, the sun
Take your legs and run into the death rays of the sun, aah

    It's never been so ironic the title of a song before. I would love to know why did the F.L. decide to ask this question about David Bowie particularly, but my guess is that they acknowledged the inmense influence he had in their career.

    We will miss you, Starman.

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.
