This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Bruises in my mind
I can't get my head off the pillow
Check the bed, am I still single?
I look like pantomime
Checking photos on my phone and how the hell did I get home?
4am, I'm hailing down a cab
He said I live too fast, he'll need for double charge
2am, I think I am Gaga
Maybe I've gone too far, I'm dancing on the bar
Disco, blisters and a comedown
All I've got to show now from my Friday night out
Why, why, why do the lights in the kebab shop
Make this guy look less hot?
He's looking like John Prescott
Lipstick and my keys
Bottle and a straw and I'm walking out my door
I got my music in my room
Rollers in my hair, in my favourite underwear
5pm, my Topshop order's here
I sent my best friend home
Looks like she's been tangoed
Thursday night, there's only one more sleep
They better get some rest, my little dancing feet
Disco, blisters and a comedown
All I've got to show now from my Friday night out
Why, why, why do the lights in the kebab shop
Make this guy look less hot?
He's looking like John Prescott
Every Sunday morning, I died a little
I can't help but want it, it keeps me ticking
And I can hear it calling, the heavy bassline
Every god damn morning, morning
Disco, blisters and a comedown
All I've got to show now from my Friday night out
Why, why, why do the lights in the kebab shop
Make this guy look less hot?
He's looking like John Prescott
Disco, blisters and a comedown
All I've got to show now from my Friday night out
Why, why, why do the lights in the kebab shop
Make this guy look less hot?
He's looking like John Prescott
I can't get my head off the pillow
Check the bed, am I still single?
I look like pantomime
Checking photos on my phone and how the hell did I get home?
4am, I'm hailing down a cab
He said I live too fast, he'll need for double charge
2am, I think I am Gaga
Maybe I've gone too far, I'm dancing on the bar

All I've got to show now from my Friday night out
Why, why, why do the lights in the kebab shop

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.
