Sneezing on the terrace tall
Reminded of the time I met the law
I should tell you something
I didn't start a fight
The feeling of taking someone's life

Seems it happened some years ago
(?) light and bend the truth
She said he tried to take me
Through a blurry sight
Pressed up against this (?) wife

Got the drunken letter home
Appearing thought the telephone
And I'm trembling at the thought
Palpitating at the thought

You were walking ahead that night
Rushing back to do things, this and that
It might've been a Sunday, or the day before
Tommy came along for the stroll

I never could tell what occupied
A face creates a faithful taste
The police they found me
To (?) the news
Help recollect, respond to use

She dragged him down a corridor
Before you know, they're through the door
Please come into my blue bar
Strips against the bedroom wall

Hide the whole thing, yeah we did
Persuade as though we're left to live
Nothing new to hide
They loyal (?) is pride

    I think a few of these are incorrect, but I certainly don't know enough to correct them, expect it's most definitely 'I never could tell a porky-pie', not 'I never could tell what occupied'. The former is a common cockney rhyming slang meaning 'I never could tell a lie.' If you listen, I think it's pretty clear :)

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
