I never thought that you would come / your sister said your nerve had gone
You're trying to make it straight right now
but I don't think that you know how
Your sister knows / she wears your clothes / she laughs
at all those things you chose
Your sister knows / takes off your clothes
we use your bed for goodness knows / Ow
I left something where I knew you'd find it
Lift your pillow and you'll see / and he's coming round today
Hey hey / Check out if you're still alive / talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down / watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way
na na na now now
Your sister knows / she wears your clothes
she laughs at all those things you chose / Your sister knows
takes off your clothes / We use your bed for goodness knows
I can't remember where we met / I can't remember what we said
I can't forget the things we did / when everything just seemed to fit
Your sister knows / takes off your clothes
we use your bed for goodness knows / She's says it's better with two
if you'd just stop being so stuck up / and he's coming round today
Hey hey / Check out if you're still alive / talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down / watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way
Try it; you might like it / But you might / smudge your lipstick
and he's coming round today / Check out if you're still alive
talking dirt won't change your life
Listen hard and you can hear her saying not to be so afraid
Loosen up and lay right down / watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way
Loosen up and lay right down / watch her as she's going down
It's easy when you stop pretending that you just got lost on the way
It's easy when you stop pretending that you'll never ever see her,
yeah you've seen her going down (and down and down and down and down)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
