I know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
See I begged, stole
And I borrowed, yeah

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning, yeah
That's why I'm easy, so easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Why in the world
Would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be, ah ah
But I'm not happy when I try to fake it

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy, so easy
That's why I'm easy like Sunday morning

I want to be high, so high
I want to be free to know
If the things I do are right
I want to be free
Just me, oh baby!

Now play it right here for me
Yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

That's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy, so easy
Yes I'm easy like Sunday morning

That's why I'm easy, oh-oh
I'm easy like Sunday morning (easy like Sunday morning, oh-oh yeah)
That's why I'm easy (I'm so easy, so easy)
I'm-I'm easy like Sunday morning, morning, morning
Morning

Thank you Willie
Yeah, thank you
Hahaha

    i like how mike patton with faith no more covered this song, and put lionel richie's vocal abilities to shame, it's a funny song though

    The sentiment in this song is similar to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    I see it as being about tied down to somebody, anybody, anything and just wanting to live your life the way you want. you're just fucking everybody else and being yourself no matter what the cost. Just living without planning out what to say or do is easy, and you're easy like fucking sunday morning.

    My Interpretation

    quite similar to the description below me, but i think it's also about stresses of expectations from others and how he can never do enough to make the people around him satisfied so he basically says fuck it. this isn't worth going through this pain and suffering so i'll just go on my way and take it easy and let myself be free

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
