Why don't you listen when I try to talk to you?
Stop thinking of yourself for just a second, fool
Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth
Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house

Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way)
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (stomp, stomp, stomp)
The idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand

What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
Don't tell me how to do my job

There's the door, your name's on the knob
You're always in the way like a beast on my back
Were you dropped as a baby? 'Cause brains you lack

Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way)
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (stomp, stomp, stomp)
The idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand

What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh

Think before you speak or suffer for your words
Learn to give respect that others give to you
Oh, the best you can do

Hey man, I'm trying to reason but you don't understand
Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight
Just you and me in our theater of hate

Can't stand it for another day (I ain't gonna live my life this way)
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching (stomp, stomp, stomp)
The idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand

What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh
What is it? Caught in a mosh

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.
