Don't like to see your face
Don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann
But I'd just get bored

Can't even bring myself to call
And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you lack
And I can't go back to that

Whatever's all the same
Now there's nobody to know
And I can't recall, recall your name
All I can say is so

And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you lack
And I can't go back to that

Your life is white
And I don't think I like
You hanging around

Don't like to see your face
Don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann
But I'd just get bored

Can't even bring myself to call
And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you lack
And I can't go back to that now

    I love the flow and message of the song. Don't know exactly who he's refering to, I like to pretend that not all lyrics are about girls.

    I wonder if the title has anything to do with "My Life is Right" from #1 Record.

    Can't state what Alex's lyrics are actually about, but I believe this song is blatantly about a girl he had loved who doesn't quite meet his expectations. She's kind of bland, and Alex doesn't find that love for her anymore.

    Another beautifully constructed song by Chilton. Love the harmonica in the background.

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.

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.
