Yeah, mmm
Yeah
I, I want to be
A cowboy star upon the screen
Yeah and I want to drive
My cowboy car across the scene
Oh and I want to write
The magazines the housewives read, yeah
Oh and I, I want to be
In control of everything
Oh I want to be king, I want to be king
I, I want to make
The toys you buy for Christmas Eve
Yeah and I, I want to be
The father of the ethnic child who stars on TV
And I, I want to write
The magazine the housewives read yeah
Oh read, and oh hey and I
I want all the leaders of the third world to answer to me
I want to be king
I want to be king
So maybe now the Pope will bow and kiss my ring
I want to be king, king, king
I swear to God
I know what I want and what I need
Oh I need yeah
I want to be king
I want to be king, yes I do
I want to be king
I want to be king
Yeah
I, I want to be
A cowboy star upon the screen
Yeah and I want to drive
My cowboy car across the scene
Oh and I want to write
The magazines the housewives read, yeah
Oh and I, I want to be
In control of everything
Oh I want to be king, I want to be king
I, I want to make
The toys you buy for Christmas Eve
Yeah and I, I want to be
The father of the ethnic child who stars on TV
And I, I want to write
The magazine the housewives read yeah
Oh read, and oh hey and I
I want all the leaders of the third world to answer to me
I want to be king
I want to be king
So maybe now the Pope will bow and kiss my ring
I want to be king, king, king
I swear to God
I know what I want and what I need
Oh I need yeah
I want to be king
I want to be king, yes I do
I want to be king
I want to be king

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I'm quite sure he says near the end of the second stanza "I want to be gay". Some of you may not agree but listen to it carefully and you'll see what I mean.
